A Psalm of David
34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. (KJV)
Our Father,
Praise your name Lord, praise your name.
Praise your name Lord, we take refuge in you for you have sent your angels to encircle us and protect us from evil.
Praise your name Lord, for you have promised to deliver those who love you in this life and the life to come through faith in your Son Jesus.
Praise your name Lord, for you have given us your Holy Spirit to instruct us and guide us towards righteousness and help us to keep our lips from falsehood but speak only the truth in a land that doesn’t recognize it.
Praise your name Lord, for you have heard our pleas and have answered us and delivered us from all our fears. You have given us confidence and hope where there is none among those in the world.
Praise your name Lord, for you have enriched our lives and we have seen your goodness in this life and a vision of your Kingdom in the life to come.
Praise your name Lord, praise your name, and praise your Son Jesus.
And in his name we pray, Amen.
