Read Psalms 34 in context

Scripture Focus

1I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.

3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

8O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

Psalms 34:1-10

Biblical Context

Psalm 34 proclaims praising God at all times, seeking divine help, and trusting in provision. It presents fear giving way to joy as inner alignment with the I AM.

Neville's Inner Vision

Within this psalm, the I AM is the steadfast center of your awareness and the LORD is the inner disposition you cultivate toward life. Declaring I will bless the LORD at all times is not pleading for favors but choosing a constant state of blessing embedded in your consciousness. The continual praise flowing from the mouth signals a disciplined imagination that refuses to be governed by appearances. When the verse says I sought the LORD and he heard me and delivered me from all my fears, you are reading a promise of inner revision: turn toward a fixed premise and the imagined light follows. Those who look unto him become lightened; fear loses its power as you rest in the protective rhythm of your own inner guards. This is salvation as inner alignment, provision as the natural outcome of sustained trust. Taste and see that the LORD is good corresponds to tasting the security of the I AM rather than chasing external proofs. To practice: revise fear into confidence, and affirm I am blessed now, fully, by the I AM that I am.

Practice This Now

Imaginative act: Sit quietly, assume the state of constant blessing, and declare I am blessed at all times. Hold that feeling for a minute, and notice fear dissolve as you sense the inner provision.
