PSALM 34
Communing with God
1 I will bless the LORD at all times,
His praise shall continually be in
My mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in
the LORD;
The humble shall hear of it and
Be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
And let us exalt Hs name
Together.
I sought the LORD, and He
Heard me,
And delivered me from all my
Fears.
5 They looked to Him and were
radiant,
And their faces were not
Ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and
the LORD heard him,
And saved him out of all his
Troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD
encamps all around those
who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh taste and see that the LORD
is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in
Him!
9 Oh, fear the LORD, you His
saints!
There is no want to those who
Fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer
hunger;
But those who seek the LORD
Shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to
me;
I will teach you the fear of the
LORD.
12 Who is the man who desires life,
And loves 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 peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the LORD are on the
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 earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and
the LORD hears,
And delivers them out of all
Their troubles.
18 The LORD is near to those who
have a broken heart,
And saves such as have a
contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the
righteous,
But the LORD delivers him out
Of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the
Righteous shall be
Condemned.
22 The LORD redeems the soul of
His servants,
And none of those who trust in
Him shall be condemned.
