Psalm 34

1. The LORD I will extol,  / At all times bless His holy Name.  / I will not cease to sing His praise;  / His goodness I proclaim.  / I glory in the LORD;  / Let the afflicted hear my voice.  / O magnify the LORD with me!  / With me in Him rejoice.  /

2. I sought the LORD in prayer;  / He heard my cry and answered me.  / From all my worries and my fears  / The LORD has set me free.  / Those who on Him rely  / Will never hang their heads in shame.  / When this poor man implored His aid,  / The LORD delivered him.  /

3. The Angel of the LORD  / Always encamps around all those  / Who fear Him and exalt His Name;  / God saves them from their woes.  / O come, then, taste and see  / That He, the LORD, is good and just.  / Blest is the man who turns to Him  / And puts in Him his trust. / William Helder, 1980
