Psalm 34:1-10 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)

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.

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

⁴I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
    and delivered me from all my fears.
⁵Look to him, and be radiant;
    so your^[a] faces shall never be ashamed.
⁶This poor soul cried, and was heard by the Lord,
    and was saved from every trouble.
⁷The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and delivers them.
⁸O taste and see that the Lord is good;
    happy are those who take refuge in him.
⁹O fear the Lord, you his holy ones,
    for those who fear him have no want.
¹⁰The young lions suffer want and hunger,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
