Psalm 34:7-18

7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.

8Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.

9Fear the LORD, you his holy people, for those who fear him lack nothing.

10The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

11Come, my children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD .

12Whoever of you loves life and desires to see many good days,

13keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

14Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

15The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are attentive to their cry;

16but the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to blot out their name from the earth.

17The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears them; he delivers them from all their troubles.

18The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
