Praying Psalm 34

I will praise You Adonai at all times. I will constantly speak Your praises. I will boast only in You Adonai; let all who are helpless take heart. Come all believers, let us tell of Adonai’s greatness; let us exalt His Name together. I pray to You Adonai and You answer me. You free me from all my fears. Those who look to You for help will be radiant with joy; no shadow of shame will darken their faces. In my desperation I pray and You my Adonai listen; You save me from all my troubles. For Your Angel Adonai is a guard; You surround and defend all who fear You. Believers! Taste and see that our Adonai is good. Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in You my King! Let all fear our Adonai, for we are Your godly people, for we who fear You will have all we need. Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but us who trust in You Adonai will lack no good thing. Come all believers and listen to me and I will teach you to fear our Adonai. Does anyone want to live a life that is long and prosperous? Then let us keep our tongues from speaking evil and our lips from telling lies! Let us turn away from evil and do good. Let us search for peace and work to maintain it. For the eyes of our Adonai watches over all who do right; His ears are open to our cries for help. But our Adonai also turns His face against all who do evil; our Adonai will erase their memory from the earth. Our Adonai hears His people when they call to Him for help. He rescues them from all their troubles. You Adonai are close to the broken-hearted; You rescue those whose spirits are crushed. The righteous person faces many troubles, but You Adonai comes to the rescue each time. For You protect the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken! Calamity will surely overtake the wicked and those who hate the righteous will be punished. But You Adonai will redeem those who serve You. No one who takes refuge in You will be condemned, amein.
