Psalm 34

Praise for Deliverance from Trouble

Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
    let the humble hear and be glad.(A)
3 O magnify the Lord with me,
    and let us exalt his name together.(B)

4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me
    and delivered me from all my fears.(C)
5 Look to him, and be radiant,
    so your[a] faces shall never be ashamed.(D)
