Psalm 34

by Clément Tendo

Leader: ¹ I will praise the Lord at all times. 

I will constantly speak his praises. 

ALL: ² I will boast only in the Lord; 

let all who are helpless take heart. 

Leader: ³ Come, let us tell of the Lord’s greatness; 

let us exalt his name together. 

ALL: ⁴ I prayed to the Lord, and he answered me. 

He freed me from all my fears. 

Leader: ⁵ Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy; 

no shadow of shame will darken their faces. 

ALL: ⁶ In my desperation I prayed, and the Lord listened; 

he saved me from all my troubles. 

Leader: ⁸ Taste and see that the Lord is good. 

Oh, the joys of those who take refuge in him! 

ALL: ⁹ Fear the Lord, you his godly people, 

for those who fear him will have all they need. 

Leader: ¹⁰ Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, 

but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing. 

ALL: ² I will boast only in the Lord; 

let all who are helpless take heart.
