I Sought The LORD,
And He
Answered Me
I
will bless the LORD at all times; his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul makes its boast in the LORD; let the humble hear and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name
together.
I
sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears. Look
to him, and be radiant; so you faces shall never be ashamed. This poor soul
cried, and was heard by the LORD, and was saved from every trouble. The angel
of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
O
taste and see that the LORD is good; happy are those who take refuge in him. O
fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for those who fear him have no want. The
young lions suffer want and hunger, but those who seek the LORD lack no good
thing.
Come,
O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD. Which of you
desires life, and covets many days to enjoy good? Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking deceit. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace,
and pursue it.
The
eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. The
face of the LORD is against evildoers, to cut off the remembrance of them from
the earth. When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears, and rescues them
from all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted, and saves the
crushed in spirit.
Many
are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD rescues them from them all.
He keeps all their bones; not one of them will be broken. Evil brings death to
the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. The LORD
redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be
condemned.
Psalm 34:1-22
One
of the wonderful joys of being a believer in Jesus is knowing
that our Father in heaven is always watching over us. Just remember that
whatever confronts us, the eyes of our LORD are always on us. We are never out
of God’s sight.
His eye is on the sparrow,
and I know He
watches me.
