Psalm 34

By David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who sent him away and he left.,[object Object],

I will bless YHWH at all times. Hɪꜱ praise will always be in my mouth. My soul will boast in YHWH. The humble will hear of it and be glad. Y’all magnify YHWH with me. Let’s exalt ʜɪꜱ name together. I sought YHWH, and ʜᴇ answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. They looked to ʜɪᴍ, and were radiant. Their faces will never be covered in shame. This poor man cried, and YHWH heard him, and saved him from all his troubles. The Angel of YHWH encamps around those who fear ʜɪᴍ, and delivers them. Y’all taste and see that YHWH is good. Blessed is the warrior who seeks protection in ʜɪᴍ. Y’all fear YHWH, O ʜɪꜱ saints, for those who fear ʜɪᴍ need nothing. The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but those who seek YHWH will not lack any good thing.

 

Children, y’all come and listen to me. I will teach y’all the fear of YHWH. Who is someone who desires life? Who would love a long life seeing what is good? Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies. Depart from evil and do good. Seek peace and pursue it. The eyes of YHWH are on the righteous. Hɪꜱ ears listen to their cry. YHWH’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth. The righteous cry, and YHWH hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. YHWH is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but YHWH delivers him out of them all. Hᴇ protects all of ʜɪꜱ bones. Not one of them is broken. Evil will kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous will be condemned. YHWH redeems the soul of ʜɪꜱ servants. None of those who take refuge in ʜɪᴍ will be condemned.
