Psalm 34

Father, in awestruck humility, I hear from you in your word, and I hear of you through your witnesses, and I am filled with gladness.

I bless you, Lord, at all times, and praise for you is continually in my mouth. You chose me and called me. I sought you, and I found you. You heard my prayers, and you saved me and transformed me and delivered me from all my fears.

I looked to you as Almighty God and Savior, and my whole life changed. Now your angels encamp around me, and you deliver me.

I have tasted your presence and your way, and I know it is good. I trust in you, Father, and I am blessed. I seek you, Lord, and I lack no good thing.

I keep my tongue from evil, and my lips speak the truth. I do good. I seek peace and pursue it. You, Lord, have redeemed my soul and freed me from condemnation. Hallelujah.
