I will constantly speak his praises.
I will boast only in the Lord.
When I feel helpless, I can take heart in him.
Come, let me tell you about the Lord's greatness.
Let me exalt his name forever.
I pray to the Lord, and he answers me.
He frees me from all my fears.
When I look to him for help, I will be radiant with joy,
and no shadow of shame will darken my face.
In my desperation I can pray, and the Lord listens.
He saves me from all my troubles.
The angel of the Lord is a guard.
He surrounds and defends me, because I fear and respect him.
I can taste and see just how good the Lord is!
Oh, how joyful I am because I take refuge in the Lord!
As his Godly people, I need to fear and respect the Lord,
Because when I fear him, I have all I need.
Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry,
but when I trust in the Lord, I lack no good thing!
Come and listen with me, and we will learn to fear the Lord.
Here's how I can live a life that's long and prosperous:
Keep my tongue from speaking evil, and my lips from telling lies.
Turn away from evil. Do good.
Search for peace. Work to maintain that peace, when I find it.
When I do good, the Lord's eyes watch over me,
and his ears are open when I cry for help.
The Lord hears me when I call to him for help.
He rescues me from all my troubles.
The Lord is close to me when I am brokenhearted,
He rescues me when my spirit is crushed.
I will face many troubles,
but the Lord comes to the rescue each time.
For the Lord will protect my bones,
because I am his righteousness,
and not one of them will be broken!
The Lord will redeem me because I serve him.
When I take refuge in him, I cannot be condemned!
A really smart man once told me that when I read the Bible, and see the promises of God, I need to put my name in there, because that's God talking to me. So, I did that here, with Psalm 34. If you read it in your Bible, it's not going to read like this, but man, what amazing promises are right there, for me, just because I trust God!! When God tells me all of that, does it even matter what the doctor has to say?
