PSAL. XXXIV. A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech: who drove him away, and he departed. (Book 34)
GOd will I blesse all times: his praisemy mouth shall still expresse.My soul shall boast in God: the meekLine 2 shall hear with joyfulnesse.Extoll the Lord with me, let usLine 3 exalt his Name together.I sought the Lord, he heard, and didLine 4 me from all fears deliver.
descriptionPage 60
They look'd to him, and lightned were:Line 5 not shamed were their faces.This poor man cry'd, God heard, and sav'dLine 6 him from all his distresses.The angel of the Lord encamps,Line 7 and round encompassethAll those about that do him fear,and them delivereth.
O taste and see, that God is good:Line 8 who trusts in him is blest.Fear God his saints: none that him fearLine 9 shall be with want opprest.The lions young may hungry be,Line 10 and they may lack their food:But they that truly seek the Lord,shall not lack any good.
O children, hither do ye come,Line 11 and unto me give ear:I shall you teach to understandhow ye the Lord should fear.What man is he that life desires,Line 12 to see good would live long?Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,Line 13 and from ill words thy tongue.
Depart from ill, do good; seek peace,Line 14 pursue it earnestly.Gods eyes are on the just; his earsLine 15 are open to their cry.The face of God is set againstLine 16 those that do wickedly,That he may quite out from the earthcut off their memory.
descriptionPage 61
The righteous cry unto the Lord,Line 17 he unto them gives ear;And they, out of their troubles all,by him delivered are.The Lord is ever nigh to themLine 18 that be of broken sp'rit:To them he safetie doth afford,that are in heart contrite.
The troubles that afflict the just,Line 19 in number many be:But yet at length, out of them all,the Lord doth set them free.He carefully his bones doth keep,Line 20 what ever can befall;That not so much as one of themcan broken be at all.
Ill shall the wicked slay: laid wasteLine 21 shall be, who hate the just.The Lord redeems his servants souls:Line 22 none perish that him trust.
