Psalm 34

AT all times I will blesse the Lord,
Thy praise ô Lord of hoast
My busie mouth shall still record,
My soul in him shall boast.
The humble wondrous glad shall be,
In hearing of the same:
O magnifie the LORD with me,
Let's all exalt his Name.
I sought the Lord, he gave good ear,
And all my terrours dash't:
They look'd to him, inlight'ned were,
Nor was their face abash't.
This poor man cri'd, the Lord did hear,
And all his troubles end:
Gods Angels tents are pitched near
Gods children to defend.
O taste and see how good God is,
Who trusts in him is blest.
O fear the Lord ye Saints of his,
Such shall not be distrest.
Young Lyons shall be hunger-pin'd,
Their food shall be so scant:
But they that seek the Lord to find,
Not one good thing shall want.

2. Part.
COme children hearken unto me,
Gods fear I teach to you:
Who longs for life, good things to see,
And dayes desires not few.
The lying lips where falshood breeds,
And wicked words refrain:
Depart from evill, do good deeds,
Seek peace, and peace maintain.
Upon the righteous every where,
God casts intentive eies:
And opens his attentive ear
To their uncessant cries.
'Gainst workers of iniquitie,
An angry brow he frames,
To cut from earth the memory
Of their detested names.
The righteous cry, the Lord doth hear,
And all their troubles ends.
To broken hearts the Lord is near,
And contrite souls defends.
Great are th' afflictions, which befall
The LORDS most holy ones:
But God shall help them out of all,
And keepeth all his bones:
So that not one of them is burst.
But mischief slays the lewd:
Who hate the righteous shall be curs'd,
And utterly subdu'd.
The Lord redeems from captive state
His servants souls each one:
And there shall none be desolate
That trust in him alone.
