Psalm 34:1-8 (New International Version)

Psalm 34

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

 ^{1 [a]} I will extol the LORD at all times;
       his praise will always be on my lips.

 ² My soul will boast in the LORD;
       let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

 ³ Glorify the LORD with me;
       let us exalt his name together.

 ⁴ I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
       he delivered me from all my fears.

 ⁵ Those who look to him are radiant;
       their faces are never covered with shame.

 ⁶ This poor man called, and the LORD heard him;
       he saved him out of all his troubles.

 ⁷ The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him,
       and he delivers them.

 ⁸ Taste and see that the LORD is good;
       blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
