Psalms 34

Matthew(i) 1 Of Dauid, when he fayned hym self too be madde before Abimelech: whyche droue hym awaye, and he departed. I wyll alwaye geue thanckes vnto the LORD, hys prayse shall euer be in my mouth. 2 My soule shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall heare therof, & be glad. 3 O prayse the Lord wyth me, and let vs magnyfye hys name together. 4 I sought the Lorde, and he herde me, yea he delyuered me out of all my feare. 5 They that haue an eye vnto hym, shalbe lightened, & ther faces shal not be ashamed. 6 This poore man cryed vnto the Lorde, & he hearde hym, yea, and delyuered hym oute of all hys troubles. 7 The Aungel of the Lorde pytcheth hys tente rounde aboute hym that feare hym, & delyuereth them. 8 O taste and se how frendly the Lorde is, blessed is the man that trusteth in hym. 9 O feare the Lord, ye that be hys sayntes: for they that feare hym, lacke nothyng. 10 The ryche shall wante and suffre hunger, but they which seke the Lord, shal want no maner of thyng, that is good. 11 Come hyther, O ye chyldren, herken vnto me, I wil teache you the feare of the Lorde. 12 Who so lysteth to lyue, and wolde fayne se good dayes. 13 Let hym refrayne his tonge from euell, & hys lyppes that they speake no gyle. 14 Let hym eschue euell, and do good: Lette hym seke peace and ensue it. 15 For the eyes of the Lorde are ouer the righteous, and his eares are open vnto theyr prayers. 16 But the face of the Lorde beholdeth them that do euell, to destroye the remembraunce of them out of the earth. 17 When the righteous crye, the Lorde heareth them, & delyuereth them out of all theyr troubles. 18 The Lorde is nye vnto them that are contryte in hert, and will helpe suche as be of an humble sprete. 19 Great are the troubles of the righteous, but the Lorde delyuereth them out of all. 20 He kepeth all their bones, so that not one of them is broken. 21 But misfortune shall slaye the vngodly, & they that hate the righteous shalbe gylty. 22 The Lorde deliuereth the soules of hys seruauntes, and all they that put their truste in hym, shall not offende.
