1I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. ✦ 2My soul will make its boast in the Lord; The humble will hear it and rejoice. ✦ 3Exalt the Lord with me, And let’s exalt His name together. ✦ 4¶I sought the Lord and He answered me, And rescued me from all my fears. ✦ 5They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed. ✦ 6This wretched man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his troubles. ✦ 7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them. ✦ 8¶Taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! ✦ 9Fear the Lord, you His saints; For to those who fear Him there is no lack of anything. ✦ 10The young lions do without and suffer hunger; But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing. ✦ 11Come, you children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. ✦ 12Who is the person who desires life And loves length of days, that he may see good? ✦ 13Keep your tongue from evil And your lips from speaking deceit. ✦ 14Turn from evil and do good; Seek peace and pursue it. ✦ 15¶The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous, And His ears are toward their cry for help. ✦ 16The face of the Lord is against evildoers, To eliminate the memory of them from the earth. ✦ 17The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears And rescues them from all their troubles. ✦ 18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. ✦ 19¶The afflictions of the righteous are many, But the Lord rescues him from them all. ✦ 20He protects all his bones, Not one of them is broken. ✦ 21Evil will bring death to the wicked, And those who hate the righteous will suffer for their guilt. ✦ 22The Lord redeems the souls of His servants, And none of those who take refuge in Him will suffer for their guilt. ✦

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.
