Psalm 34

¹I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
²My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
³O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
⁴I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
⁵They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
⁶This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
⁸O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
⁹O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
¹⁰The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
¹¹Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
¹²What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
¹³Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
¹⁵The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
¹⁶The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
¹⁷The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
¹⁸The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
¹⁹Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
²⁰He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
²¹Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
²²The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

²⁵When thou shalt beget children, and children’s children, and ye shall have remained long in the land, and shall corrupt yourselves, and make a graven image, or the likeness of any thing, and shall do evil in the sight of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger:
²⁶I call heaven and earth to witness against you this day, that ye shall soon utterly perish from off the land whereunto ye go over Jordan to possess it; ye shall not prolong your days upon it, but shall utterly be destroyed.
²⁷And the Lord shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the Lord shall lead you.
²⁸And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell.
²⁹But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
³⁰When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
³¹(For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them.

⁴²Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
⁴³But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up.
⁴⁴Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
⁴⁵Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season?
⁴⁶Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.
⁴⁷Verily I say unto you, That he shall make him ruler over all his goods.
⁴⁸But and if that evil servant shall say in his heart, My lord delayeth his coming;
⁴⁹And shall begin to smite his fellowservants, and to eat and drink with the drunken;
⁵⁰The lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he is not aware of,
⁵¹And shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
