34:2 I praise the Lord— let the suffering listen and rejoice.
34:3 Magnify the Lord with me! Together let us lift his name up high!
34:4 I sought the Lord and he answered me. He delivered me from all my fears.
34:5 Those who look to God will shine; their faces are never ashamed.
34:6 This suffering person cried out: the Lord listened and saved him from every trouble.
34:7 On every side, the Lord’s messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them.
34:8 Taste and see how good the Lord is! The one who takes refuge in him is truly happy!
34:9 You who are the Lord’s holy ones, honor him, because those who honor him don’t lack a thing.
34:10 Even strong young lions go without and get hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
34:11 Come, children, listen to me. Let me teach you how to honor the Lord:
34:12 Do you love life; do you relish the chance to enjoy good things?
34:13 Then you must keep your tongue from evil and keep your lips from speaking lies!
34:14 Turn away from evil! Do good! Seek peace and go after it!
34:15 The Lord’s eyes watch the righteous, his ears listen to their cries for help.
34:16 But the Lord’s face is set against those who do evil, to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth.
34:17 When the righteous cry out, the Lord listens; he delivers them from all their troubles.

34:22 The Lord saves his servants’ lives; all those who take refuge in him won’t be held responsible for anything.
