Psalm 34:4-16 Amplified Bible (AMP)

4. I sought (inquired of) the Lord and required Him [of necessity and on the authority of His Word], and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. [Ps. 73:25; Matt. 7:7.]

5. They looked to Him and were radiant; their faces shall never blush for shame or be confused.

6. This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7. The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers. [Ps. 18:1; 145:20.]

8. O taste and see that the Lord [our God] is good! Blessed (happy, fortunate, to be envied) is the man who trusts and takes refuge in Him. [I Pet. 2:2, 3.]

9. O fear the Lord, you His saints [revere and worship Him]! For there is no want to those who truly revere and worship Him with godly fear.

10. The young lions lack food and suffer hunger, but they who seek (inquire of and require) the Lord [by right of their need and on the authority of His Word], none of them shall lack any beneficial thing.

11. Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you to revere and worshipfully fear the Lord.

12. What man is he who desires life and longs for many days, that he may see good?

13. Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit.

14. Depart from evil and do good; seek, inquire for, and crave peace and pursue (go after) it!

15. The eyes of the Lord are toward the [uncompromisingly] righteous and His ears are open to their cry.

16. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. [I Pet. 3:10-12.]
