Psalm 34 Prayed


Psalm 34 Prayed
Deliver the afflicted


   I will extol you, O Lord, at all times;
            your praise will always be on my lips.
   My soul will boast you, Lord Jesus;
            let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
   Glorify the Lord Jesus with me;
            let us exalt his name together.

   I sought you, Lord Jesus, and you answered me;
            you delivered me from all my fears.
   Those who look to you are radiant;
            their faces are never covered with shame.
   This poor person called, and you heard me;
            you saved me out of all my troubles.
   Jesus, you are the angel of the Lord,
            you encamp around those who revere you,
            and you deliver us.

   O let me taste and see how good you are;
            how blessed I am when I take refuge in you.
   Help me to fear you, O Lord,
            along with all the saints,
            for those who fear you lack nothing.
   The lions may grow weak and hungry,
            but those who seek you,
            O Lord, lack no good thing.

   Let children listen to me;
            so I can teach them the to love and respect you.
   May they love life,
            and desire to see many good days,
   May they keep their tongues from evil
            and their lips from speaking lies.

   Turn us from evil and help us to do good;
            to seek peace and to pursue it.
   For your eyes, O Lord, are on the righteous
            and your ears are attentive to our cry;
   your face, O Lord, is against those who do evil,
            to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

   O Christ, you died for sins, once for all,
            the righteous for the unrighteous,
            to bring us to God.
   Through your obedience in life,
            and especially on the cross,
            you made many righteous.
   These righteous ones cry out,
            and you hear them;
            you deliver us from all our troubles.
   Be close to the broken hearted
            and save those who are crushed in spirit.
   A righteous person may have many troubles,
            but you have promised to deliver us from
            them all.

   Though they may be afflicted,
            do not let them be utterly crushed;
   for your Father protected all of your bones,
            not one of them was broken.
   The soldiers came and broke the legs
            of the first man who had been crucified with you,
            and then those of the other.
   When they came to you
            and found that you were already dead,
            they did not break your legs,           
   for Israel was not allowed to break
            the Passover lamb's bones,
   and you are our Passover Lamb.
            who has been sacrificed for us.

   The evil you experienced on the cross
            slew the Wicked One;
  the spiritual foes of the righteous
            were condemned.

 O Christ, you redeem your servants;
            You redeemed us with your precious blood,
            a lamb without blemish or defect.
   Not one of us will be condemned
        for we have taken refuge in you.




Psalm 34
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.

1   I will extol the LORD at all times;
            his praise will always be on my lips.
2   My soul will boast in the LORD;
            let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3   Glorify the LORD with me;
            let us exalt his name together.

4  I sought the LORD, and he answered me;
            he delivered me from all my fears.
5   Those who look to him are radiant;
            their faces are never covered with shame.
6   This poor man called, and the LORD
            heard him;
            he saved him out of all his troubles.
7   The angel of the LORD encamps around
            those who fear him,
            and he delivers them.

8   Taste and see that the LORD is good;
            blessed is the man who takes refuge
            in him.
9   Fear the LORD, you his saints,
            for those who fear him lack nothing.
10  The lions may grow weak and hungry,
            but those who seek the LORD lack no
            good thing.
11  Come, my children, listen to me;
            I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12  Whoever of you loves life
            and desires to see many good days,
13  keep your tongue from evil
            and your lips from speaking lies.
14  Turn from evil and do good;
            seek peace and pursue it.
15  The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous
            and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16  the face of the LORD is against those who
            do evil,
            to cut off the memory of them from
            the earth.
1Pet. 3:18 For Christ died for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive by the Spirit,
Rom. 5: 19 .. through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous.
17  The righteous cry out,
            and the LORD hears them;
            he delivers them from all their troubles.
18  The LORD is close to the broken hearted
            and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19   A righteous man may have many troubles,
            but the LORD delivers him from them all;

20  he protects all his bones,
            not one of them will be broken.
John 19:32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.  33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs.
Num. 9:12 They must not leave any of it till morning or break any of its bones. When they celebrate the Passover, they must follow all the regulations. 
1Cor. 5:7 ..For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed.

21  Evil will slay the wicked;
            the foes of the righteous will be
            condemned.

22a  The LORD redeems his servants;
1Pet. 1:18 ..you were redeemed…19 ..with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or defect.
22b      no one will be condemned
            who takes refuge in him.
