  • Ps 34:1-9 : 1 Of Dauid when he chaunged his behauiour before Abimelech, whiche droue him away, and he departed. I wyll alway blesse God: his prayse shall euer be in my mouth. 2 My soule shal glory in God: the humble shall heare therof and be glad. 3 Magnifie God with me: and let vs exalt his name all together. 4 Carefully I sought God, & he hearde me: yea he deliuered me out of all my feare. 5 Let them turne their eyes on him, and make speede to come vnto hym: and their faces shall not be ashamed. 6 Lo this same poore man hath cryed: and God hath hearde hym, and saued hym out of all his troubles. 7 The angell of God campeth rounde about them that feare hym: and deliuereth them. 8 O taste and see how gracious God is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 Feare God ye that be his saintes: for they that feare him lacke nothing. 10 Young Lions do lacke and suffer hunger: but they whiche seeke God, shall want no maner of thing that is good. 11 Come ye chyldren and hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of God. 12 What man is he that listeth to liue: and woulde fayne see good dayes. 13 Kepe thy tongue from euill: and thy lippes that they speake no guyle. 14 Eschewe euill & do good: seeke peace and ensue it. 15 The eyes of God are ouer the righteous: and his eares are open vnto their prayers. 16 The countenaunce of God is against them that do euill: to roote out the remembraunce of them from of the earth. 17 The righteous crye, and God heareth them: and deliuereth them out of all their troubles. 18 God is nye vnto them that are of a contrite heart: and saueth such as be of an humble spirite. 19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but God deliuereth him out of all. 20 He kepeth all his bones: so that no one of them is broken. 21 Malice shal put the vngodly to death: and they that hate the righteous, shalbe brought to naught. 22 God redeemeth the soules of his seruauntes: and al they that put their trust in him, shall not be brought to naught.
