GOD OUR DELIVERER

Psalm xxxiv


IWILL bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually
be in my mouth.
My soul shall make her boast in the Lord:
The meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Oh magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name to-gether.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked unto him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be confounded.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear
him, and delivereth them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.
Oh fear the Lord, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous and his ears are open unto their cry.
The face of the Lord is against them that do evil,
To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
The righteous cried and the Lord heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart.
And saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Evil shall slay the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.
The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants;
And none of them that take refuge in him shall be condemned.
