34:1  1 After David had escaped Achish, according as it is written in 1 Sam. 2:11, whom in this title he calleth Abimelech (which was a general name to all the Kings of the Philistines) he praiseth God for his deliverance, 3 provoking all others by his example to trust in God, to fear and serve him, 7 who defendeth the godly with his Angels, 16 and utterly destroyeth the wicked in their sins. A Psalm of David, when he changeth his behavior before Abimelech, who drave him away, and he departed. I will always give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall be in my mouth continually.
34:2  My soul shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall hear it and be glad.
34:3  Praise ye the Lord with me, and let us magnify his Name together.
34:4  I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he delivered me out of all my fear.
34:5  They shall look unto him, and run to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
34:6  This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
34:7  The Angel of the Lord pitched round about them, that fear him, and delivereth them.
34:8  Taste ye and see, how gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
34:9  Fear the Lord ye his Saints: for nothing wanteth to them that fear him.
34:10  The lions do lack and suffer hunger, but they which seek the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
34:11  Come children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
34:12  What man is he that desireth life, and loveth long days for to see good?
34:13  Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips, that they speak no guile.
34:14  Eschew evil and do good: seek peace and follow after it.
34:15  The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
34:16  But the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
34:17  The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
34:18  The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in spirit.
34:19  Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
34:20  He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
34:21  But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
34:22  The Lord redeemeth the souls of his servants: and none that trust in him, shall perish.
