eye of the Lord is upon them that fear him: and
upon them that put their trust in his mercy;
18 To deliver their soul from death: and to feed them in the time
of dearth.
19 Our soul hath patiently tarried for the Lord: for he is our help
and our shield.
20 For our heart shall rejoice in him: because we have hoped in his
holy Name.
21 Let thy merciful kindness, O Lord, be upon us: like as we do
put our trust in thee.
PSALM 34. _Benedicam Dominum_.
I will alway give thanks unto the Lord: his praise shall ever be
in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad.
3 O praise the Lord with me: and let us magnify his Name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he delivered me out of
all my fear.
5 They had an eye unto him, and were lightened: and their faces
were not ashamed.
6 Lo, the poor crieth, and the Lord heareth him: yea, and saveth
him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord tarrieth round about them that fear him:
and delivereth them.
8 O taste, and see, how gracious the Lord is: blessed is the man
that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye that are his saints: for they that fear him
lack nothing.
10 The lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they who seek the
Lord shall want no manner of thing that is good.
11 Come, ye children, and hearken unto me: I will teach you the
fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that lusteth to live: and would fain see good
days?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil: and thy lips, that they speak no
guile.
14 Eschew evil, and do good: seek peace, and ensue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous: and his ears are
open unto their prayers.
16 The countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil: to
root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth them: and delivereth
them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and
will save such as be of an humble spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth
him out of all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: so that not one of them is broken.
21 But misfortune shall slay the ungodly: and they that hate the
righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord delivereth the souls of his servants: and all they
that put their trust in him shall not be destitute.
