Psalms of David - Modern Translation - Psalm 34

 

I will praise the Lord at all times;
His praise will always be on my lips.

My soul rejoices in the Lord—
let all who are weary hear and be glad.

Come, let us magnify the Lord together,
let us lift up His name in joy!

I sought the Lord, and He answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to Him shine with light;
their faces are never covered in shame.

I was troubled, and I called out—
the Lord heard me and lifted me up.

The angels of the Lord encircle those who trust in Him,
guarding them in love.

Taste and see that the Lord is good!

Blessed is the one who takes refuge in Him.

Revere the Lord, you who are faithful,
for those who trust in Him lack nothing.

Even the strong may grow weary and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord
are filled with every good thing.

Come, my children, and listen to me;
I will teach you the way of wisdom.

Do you long for a life filled with goodness?
Then keep your words kind and your heart honest.

Turn from harm and do what is right;
seek peace and follow its path.
