Psalm 34
|
|
| 34:1
I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my
mouth. |
|
| 34:2
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof,
and be glad. |
|
| 34:3
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. |
|
| 34:4
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. |
|
| 34:5
They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not
ashamed. |
|
| 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 encampeth round about them that fear him, and
delivereth them. |
|
| 34:8
O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in
him. |
|
| 34:9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints:
for there is no want to them that fear him. |
"O fear the Lord"
Should we fear God?
"They that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing."
(Those who are poor or hungry just aren't seeking God enough.)
|
| 34:10
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD
shall not want any good thing.
|
| 34:11
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
|
| 34:12
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see
good? |
|
| 34:13
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. |
|
| 34:14
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. |
|
| 34:15
The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto
their cry. |
|
| 34:16
The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the
remembrance of them from the earth. |
"To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth"
Does hell exist?
|
| 34:17
The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all
their troubles. |
|
| 34:18
The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as
be of a contrite spirit. |
|
| 34:19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out
of them all. |
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out
of them all."
Nothing bad ever happens to righteous folks.
|
| 34:20
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
|
| 34:21
Evil shall slay the
wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. |
"Evil shall slay the
wicked."
Do evildoers prosper?
|
| 34:22
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust
in him shall be desolate.
