Psalm 34

I Will at all times blesse the Lord,
and him will magnifie,
And with his praises shall my mouth
be fill'd continually.
My soul in God shall make his boast,
by whom relief she had,
The humble men shall hear thereof,
and be exceeding glad.

O magnifie the Lord with me,
and spread abroad his fame,
Together with one heart and voice
let us extoll his name.
In my distresse I sought the Lord,
he did my prayer hear,
And graciously delivered me
from all that I did fear.

This mov'd his Saints to look unto
and flock to him apace,
They came not back asham'd, but were
inlightned by his grace.
This poor man cry'd unto the Lord,
he heard his prayer said they,
And him delivered out of all
his troubles in that day.

Gods Angel doth encamp about
all those that do him fear,
And safely doth deliver them
from dangers that are near.
O taste and see that God is good
and gracious every way,
Blessed is he that maketh him
his trust and only stay.

All ye his Saints, his holy ones,
fear ye the living Lord,
For nothing shall they want that him
do fear and keep his word.
The lions young may hungry be,
and want their needful food,
But those that truly seek the Lord,
shall not want any good.

The Second Part.

Come near therefore my children dear,
and to my words give ear,
I will teach you the perfect way
how you the Lord shall fear.
What man desireth life, and loves
in long life good to see,
From evil keep thy tongue, thy lips
from speaking guile keep free.

Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,
pursue it speedily.
Gods eyes are on the righteous man,
his ears do hear their cry:
But against such as evil work,
the Lord doth set his face;
That their accursed memory
in earth may have no place.

But such as good and righteous are,
the Lord hears when they cry,
And them out of their troubles all
delivers speedily.
The Lord is nigh at hand to them
that are in heart contrite,
And saves such as are much cast down,
and broken in their spirit.

Many are the afflictions
a righteous man endures,
But out of all deliverance
the Lord to him assures.
The bones of all such men are so
preserved Lord by thee,
In all their sufferings not one
of them shall broken bee.

But evil shall the sinners slay,
because he evil wrought,
And those that hate Gods Saints shall be
to desolation brought.
Whereas the Lord his servants souls
redeems and setteth free,
So that of all that trust in him
none desolate shall bee.
