Psalm 34:1-10

New King James Version

The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God

A Psalm of David ^(A)when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

34 I will ^(B)bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
²My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
³Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

⁴I ^(C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
⁵They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
⁶This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷^(D)The ^[a]angel of the Lord ^(E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

⁸Oh, ^(F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
^(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
⁹Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no ^[b]want to those who fear Him.
¹⁰The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
^(H)But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
