Psalm 34:6, 1, 3-5, 2, 7-11

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

I will thank the LORD at all times. My lips will always praise him.

Join me in giving glory to the LORD. Let us honor him together. I looked to the LORD, and he answered me. He saved me from everything I was afraid of. Those who look to him have joyful faces. They are never covered with shame.

I will find my glory in knowing the LORD. Let those who are hurting hear me and be joyful.

The angel of the LORD stands guard around those who have respect for him. And he saves them. Taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the person who goes to him for safety. You holy people of God, have respect for the LORD. Those who respect him have everything they need. The lions may grow weak and hungry. But those who look to the LORD have every good thing they need. My children, come. Listen to me. I will teach you to have respect for the LORD.
