Psalm 34:1-91 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.3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,    and let us exalt his name together! 4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me    and delivered me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him are radiant,    and their faces shall never be ashamed.6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him    and saved him out of all his troubles.7 The angel of the Lord encamps    around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!    Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,    for those who fear him have no lack!
