Psalm 34:2–7

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;

let the humble hear and be glad.

Oh, magnify the Lord with me,

and let us exalt his name together!

I sought the Lord, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant,

and their faces shall never be ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encamps

around those who fear him, and delivers them.

I will glory in the Lord;

let the afflicted hear and rejoice.

Glorify the Lord with me;

let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;

he delivered me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant;

their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;

he saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,

and he delivers them.

I will boast in the Lord;

the humble will hear and be glad.

Proclaim the Lord’s greatness with me;

let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me

and rescued me from all my fears.

Those who look to him are radiant with joy;

their faces will never be ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him

and saved him from all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encamps

around those who fear him, and rescues them.

I will boast only in the Lord;

let all who are helpless take heart.

Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness;

let us exalt his name together.

I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me.

He freed me from all my fears.

Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;

no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened;

he saved me from all my troubles.

For the angel of the Lord is a guard;

he surrounds and defends all who fear him.

My soul makes its boast in Yahweh;

let the humble hear and be glad.

Magnify Yahweh with me,

and let us exalt his name together.

I sought Yahweh and he answered me,

and from all my terrors he delivered me.

They looked to him and were radiant,

and their faces shall not be ashamed.

This poor man called and Yahweh heard,

and saved him from all his troubles.

The angel of Yahweh encamps

around those who fear him,

and he rescues them.

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord:

The humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

O magnify the Lord with me,

And let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he heard me,

And delivered me from all my fears.

They looked unto him, and were lightened:

And their faces were not ashamed.

This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him,

And saved him out of all his troubles.

The angel of the Lord encampeth

Round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
