Psalm 34  (Modern English Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A Psalm of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he departed.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
\nHis praise will continually be in my mouth.
\n2 My soul will make its boast in the Lord;
\nthe humble will hear of it and be glad.
\n3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
\nand let us exalt His name together.
\n4 I sought the Lord, and He answered me,
\nand delivered me from all my fears.
\n5 They looked to Him and became radiant,
\nand their faces are not ashamed.
\n6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard,
\nand saved him out of all his troubles.
\n7 The angel of the Lord camps around those who fear Him,
\nand delivers them.
\n8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
\nblessed is the man who takes refuge in Him.
\n9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints;
\nfor the ones who fear Him will not be in need.
\n10 The young lions are in want and suffer hunger,
\nbut the ones who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
\n11 Come, you children, listen to me;
\nI will teach you the fear of the Lord.
\n12 Who is the man who desires life,
\nand loves a long life in order to see good?
\n13 Keep your tongue from evil,
\nand your lips from speaking deceit.
\n14 Turn away from evil, and do good;
\nseek peace, and pursue it.
\n15 The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
\nand His ears are open to their cry.
\n16 The face of the Lord is against the ones doing evil,
\nto cut off the memory of them from the earth.
\n17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears,
\nand delivers them out of all their troubles.
\n18 The Lord is near to the broken-hearted,
\nand saves the contrite of spirit.
\n19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
\nbut the Lord delivers him out of them all.
\n20 A righteous one keeps all his bones;
\nnot one of them is broken.
\n21 Evil will slay the wicked,
\nand those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
\n22 The Lord redeems the life of His servants,
\nand all who take refuge in Him will not be punished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10  (Modern English Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Salutation<\/em>
\n1 Paul, Silas, and Timothy,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the church of the Thessalonians which is in God the Father and in the Lord Jesus Christ:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Thessalonians\u2019 Faith and Example<\/em>
\n2 We give thanks to God always for you all, mentioning you in our prayers, 3 remembering without ceasing your work of faith, labor of love, and patient hope in our Lord Jesus Christ in the sight of God and our Father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 For we know, beloved brothers, your election by God. 5 For our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power, and in the Holy Spirit, and in much assurance, just as you know what kind of men we were among you for your sake. 6 You became followers of us and the Lord, having received the word in much affliction, with joy of the Holy Spirit. 7 Therefore you were examples to all who believe in Macedonia and Achaia. 8 For the word of the Lord sounded out from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but also in every place your faith in God has gone forth, so that we do not need to say anything. 9 For they themselves declare how we were received by you, and how you turned to God from idols, to serve the living and true God, 10 and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead\u2014Jesus, who delivered us from the wrath to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
