34 ‎(1) Of David, when he feigned madness in the presence of Abimelech, who turned him out, and he left.
‎(2) I bless the LORD at all times;
praise of Him is ever in my mouth. ‎(3) I glory in the LORD;
let the lowly hear it and rejoice. ‎(4) Exalt the LORD with me;
let us extol His name together. ‎(5) I turned to the LORD, and He answered me;
He saved me from all my terrors. ‎(6) Men look to Him and are radiant;
let their faces not be downcast. ‎(7) Here was a lowly man who called,
and the LORD listened,
and delivered him from all his troubles. ‎(8) The angel of the LORD camps around those who fear Him
and rescues them. ‎(9) Taste and see how good the LORD is;
happy the man who takes refuge in Him! ‎(10) Fear the LORD, you His consecrated ones,
for those who fear Him lack nothing. ‎(11) Lions have been reduced to starvation,
but those who turn to the LORD shall not lack any good. ‎(12) Come, my sons, listen to me;
I will teach you what it is to fear the LORD. ‎(13) Who is the man who is eager for life,
who desires years of good fortune? ‎(14) Guard your tongue from evil,
your lips from deceitful speech. ‎(15) Shun evil and do good,
seek amity and pursue it. ‎(16) The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous,
His ears attentive to their cry. ‎(17) The face of the LORD is set against evildoers,
to erase their names from the earth. ‎(18) They cry out, and the LORD hears,
and saves them from all their troubles. ‎(19) The LORD is close to the brokenhearted;
those crushed in spirit He delivers. ‎(20) Though the misfortunes of the righteous be many,
the LORD will save him from them all, ‎(21) Keeping all his bones intact,
not one of them being broken. ‎(22) One misfortune is the deathblow of the wicked;
the foes of the righteous shall be ruined. ‎(23) The LORD redeems the life of His servants;
all who take refuge in Him shall not be ruined.
