Psalms 34:1-9 MWT (With God's name restored.)
(1) A Psalm of David, after he pretended to be insane before Abimelech; and so Abimelech drove him away, and David went. [1 Sam 21:10-15] I will bless   יהוה   at all times; His praise will always be in my mouth. (2) My soul will make its boast in   יהוה  ; meek persons will hear and be glad. (3) O magnify   יהוה   with me; and let us exalt His name together. (4) I sought   יהוה  , and He answered me, and delivered me out of all my fear. (5) They looked to Him and were filled with light; and their faces were not ashamed. (6) This poor man cried; and   יהוה   heard, and saved him out of all his distress. (7) The Angel of   יהוה   camps around those who fear Him, and He sets them free. (8) Taste and see that   יהוה   is good; blessed is the man seeking refuge in Him. (9) Fear   יהוה  , you who are his special people, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

And out of all his distresses He saved him. 7 The angel of Jehovah is camping all around those fearing him, And he rescues them. 8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good, O you people; Happy is the able-bodied man that takes refuge in him. 9 Fear Jehovah, you holy ones of his, For there is no lack to those fearing him.
