Psalms 34:1-8

1I will praise the Lord at all times. I will constantly speak his praises.

2I will boast only in the Lord; let all who are helpless take heart.

3Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; let us exalt his name together.

4I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. He freed me from all my fears.

5Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

6In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; he saved me from all my troubles.

7For the angel of the Lord is a guard; he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

8Taste and see that the Lord is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him!
