Psalm 34

 My memorization of Psalm 34 is almost complete. I am typing it out here from memory, so none of the punctuation will be correct, but hopefully all the words will be.


Psalm 34
Of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech and he drove him out and he went away.

I will bless the Lord at all times, His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the Lord, let the humble hear and be glad.
Oh, Magnify the Lord with me, let us exault his name together!
I sought the Lord and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to Him are radiant, their faces shall never be ashamed.
This poor man cried and the Lord heard him, and delivered him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and delivers them.
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good; Blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear the Lord have no lack.
The young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
Come, O children, listen to me, I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
What man is there who desires life, and loves many days that he may see good?
Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.
Turn away from evil and do good, seek peace and pursue it.
The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, and His ears toward their cry.
The face of the Lord against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears and delivers them out of all their troubles.
The Lord is near the brokenhearted, and saves the crushed in spirit.
Many the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
He keeps all his bones, not one of them is broken.
Affliction will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord redeems the life of His servants, none of those who take refuge in Him will be condemned.

(almost entirely from memory, I usually get stuck at verse 19, and need a little hint. I have to work on that before I recite it to everybody tonight.)
