Read the chapter

1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. ✦ 2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. ✦ 3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. ✦ 4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. ✦ 5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. ✦ 6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. ✦ 7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. ✦ 8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. ✦ 9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. ✦ 10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. ✦ 11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. ✦ 12What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? ✦ 13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. ✦ 14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. ✦ 15The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. ✦ 16The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. ✦ 17The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. ✦ 18The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. ✦ 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. ✦ 20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. ✦ 21Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. ✦ 22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. ✦

Christ at the center

The Psalms are Christ's own prayer book and a gallery of his portraits — the suffering one of Psalm 22, the risen Lord of Psalm 16, the priest-king of Psalm 110, the Son to whom the nations are given.

How Psalms 34 points to him is part of the one story that runs through all Scripture — meet Jesus at the heart of the web, or follow a trail that traces him from Genesis to Revelation.
