A Psalm of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech, who drove [David] away & he departed. |
Psalm 34:1-22 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually be in my mouth. My [soul's] boast shall be in the Lord & the humble shall hear [of it] & be glad. O let us magnify the Lord with me & exalt His Name together. |
I sought the Lord & He heard me & delivered me from all my fears. [Those who] looked to Him & were [enlightened] & their faces weren't ashamed. [Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God, [that leads] to salvation to everyone [who] believes. |
To the Jew 1st & to the Greek. For [in it] the righteousness of God is revealed, [starting with] faith [leading] to [deeper] faith. As it is written,The just shall live by faith.] |
The poor man cried [out] & the Lord heard him & saved him out of all his troubles. The Angel of the Lord [camps & surrounds around those who] fear [respect] Him & delivers them. O taste & see that the Lord is good. Blessed is the man [who] trusts in Him. |
[Psalm 119:102-104 I have not departed from Your judgments: for You have taught me. How sweet are Your Words to my taste! [Yes,] sweeter than honey to my mouth. Through Your [commandments] I get understanding. Therefore, I hate every false [path.] |
O you, His saints, fear the Lord: for there is no [lack] to [those who] fear [respect] Him. The young lions do lack & suffer hunger: but [those who] seek the Lord, shall not [lack] any good thing. |
Come, you children & [listen] to me & I will teach you the fear [respect] of the Lord. What man [doesn't] desire life & love many days, [so] that he may see good? Keep your tongue from evil & your lips from speaking [deceitfully.] Depart from evil & do good. Seek peace & pursue it. |
The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous & His ears are open to their [outcry.] The face of the Lord is against [those who] do evil, to cut off the [memory] of them from the earth. The righteous cry [out] & the Lord hears & delivers them out of all their troubles. |
The Lord is [near] to [those who have] a broken heart & saves [those who have a repentant] spirit. [2 Peter 3:9 The Lord isn't slack concerning His promise, [like] some men [consider] slackness; but is [patient] to us, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.] |
Many are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivers him out of all [of] them. * He keeps all His bones: not one of them is broken. [John 19:33-36 But when they came to Jesus & saw that He was dead already, they [didn't] break His legs: But one of the soldiers with a spear pierced His side & [immediately] blood & water came out. |
And he [who] saw it bare record & his record is true. And He knows [what] he said is true, [so] that you might believe. For these things were done, [so] that the scriptures should be fulfilled, A bone of Him shall not be broken.] |
Evil shall [kill] the wicked & [those who] hate the righteous shall be desolate. [Psalm 140:11-12 Let not [someone who speaks] evil be established in the earth. Evil shall hunt the violent man to overthrow him. I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the afflicted & the [rights] of the poor.] |
The Lord redeems the soul of His servants & none of [those who] trust in Him shall be [alone.] |
