Tehillim 34

²I will make a bracha of praise unto Hashem at all times;

His praise shall continually be in my mouth.

³My nefesh shall make its boast in Hashem ;

the anavim (humble) shall hear thereof, and be glad.

⁴O magnify Hashem with me,

and let us exalt Shmo together.

⁵I sought Hashem , and He heard me,

and delivered me from all my fears.

⁶They looked unto Him, and were radiant;

and their panim were not ashamed.

⁷The oni (poor man) cried, and Hashem heard him,

and saved him out of all his tzoros.

⁸The Malach Hashem encampeth round about them that fear Him,

and delivereth them.

⁹O taste and see that Hashem is tov;

ashrei is the man that taketh refuge in Him.

¹⁰O fear Hashem , ye His Kedoshim;

for there is no lack to them that fear Him.

¹¹The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger;

but they that seek Hashem shall not lack any good thing.

¹²Come, ye banim, pay heed unto me;

I will teach you the fear of Hashem .

¹³What ish is he that desireth chayyim,

and loveth many days, that he may see tov?

¹⁴Keep thy tongue from rah,

and thy lips from speaking mirmah.

¹⁵Depart from rah, and do tov;

seek shalom, and pursue it.

¹⁶The eyes of Hashem are upon the tzaddikim,

and His ears open to their cry.

¹⁷The face of Hashem is against them that do rah,

to cut off the zekher (remembrance) of them from ha'aretz.

¹⁸The tzaddikim cry, and Hashem heareth,

and delivereth them out of all their tzoros.

¹⁹Hashem is near unto them whose lev is broken;

and saveth such whose ruach is contrite.

²⁰Many are the afflictions of the tzaddik;

but Hashem delivereth him out of them all.

²¹He keepeth shomer over all his bones;

not one of them is broken.

²²Evil shall slay the resha'im;

and they that hate the tzaddik shall be desolate.

²³Hashem redeemeth the nefesh of His avadim;

and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be condemned.
