Psalms 34 ~ Listen and Read Along

Dramatized KJV
 JV McGee
In this psalm praise is personal. After the chorus of Psalm 33, we have a solo full of feeling. It tells of the goodness of The LORD and that in order that others may know and be helped. The opening declares this. The song is to be perpetual and the meek are to be made glad thereby.(v. 1~2) Then there is the desire to draw others into the same attitude of praise.

It is good to go through simply to find the things The LORD had done that David points us to: "he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."; "They looked unto him, and were lightened"; "the LORD heard him, and saved him"; "The eyes of the LORD are upon"; "his ears are open unto their cry"; "and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them"; "The LORD is nigh unto them"; "but the LORD delivereth him out of them all"; "He keepeth".

And, verse 22: The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
