Bless the Lord with me

SALMO 34:1-8

Psalm 34: 1-8

David was fleeing from King Saul. Thinking that he could find refuge with the
Philistines, pretending to be insane he escaped from Saul and King AchishSo David arose and fled that day from Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

Aquis, king of Gate.
But the servants of Achish asked him: Is this not David, the king of the land?
it was not this one that they sang in the dances, saying: Saul killed his thousands,
But David his tens of thousands?
12 And David considered these words in his heart, and was very afraid of

Then Achish said to his servants: You see that this man is mad;
Why did you bring me to you?

Knowing that David was in this place, his family came to encourage him. A
group of nearly four hundred men in humiliating circumstances
they also resorted to him1 Samuel 22: 1-2 ). 1SM 22:1 After that David,
retreating from this place, he escaped to the cave of Adullam. When the
his brothers and all his father's house knew about this, they went down there to have
with him.

All those who were in distress gathered around him, all

the indebted, and all those embittered in spirit; and he became a leader
there were about four hundred men with him.

The fugitive's response was a combination of thanksgiving, witness,

evangelism, and wisdom teachingI 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. Oh, 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.Those who look to him are radiant, and their faces shall never be ashamed.This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him out of all his troubles.The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.

Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Psalm 34:1We are exhorted to "bless the Lord" and speak of His
goodness. What we say about the goodness of the Lord reflects who we are. The
What we speak should reflect who we are in Him. To 'bless the Lord' is
I need to bend and praise Him.

The words we speak are a result of our actions and

behavior. When we speak positively about the things of the Lord,
good things can happen. The reverse is also true: when
we 'talk' bad things, that is often just what we have! David
decided that the praises of the Lord should be constantly in his
mouth.

My soul will boast in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.The
'gentle psalmist of Israel' sought to honor God in that
equivalent to a public act of praise. This psalm is not directed to the Lord,
but for the congregation. They are 'humble': the poor, the humble, the
the weak, and the distressed. "Those in danger, those in debt, and the
discontentedAnd everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him. So he became captain over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.). 1SM 22:2 All those who were in distress gathered around him

Psalm 34:3David's testimony demands a response and participation.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me and delivered me from all my fears.This encourages what was once fearsome. "The LORD has delivered me from all
my fears." Negative fears are the opposite of faith, and destructive to
our peace and well-being.

We are also reminded of "the glory of the Lord in the face of Jesus Christ"
( For God, who said, 'Let light shine out of darkness,' made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.). 6 For God, who said: 'Let light shine out of darkness,' is
who shone in our hearts, for the illumination of knowledge of
glory of God in the face of Christ. When we look at Him, the light of the Lord
reflects in our lives.

They oppress us. The Lord hears, and saves and redeems us from troubles.

Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.It is good to wake up in the morning with a word of worship in our
mouths. It is good to speak well of the Lord every day. It is good to lie down at night, in
praise and thanksgiving. Come, says David, 'I delight' in Your goodness towards me.

We "taste and see" the goodness of the Lord, when the words of the Lord
