Psalm 34 : Bless the Lord Blues

** In this blues-inspired rendition of Psalm 34, we dive deep into the heart of David's praise and trust in the Lord. David wrote this psalm during a time of intense fear and uncertainty. After fleeing from King Saul, he found himself in the land of the Philistines, where he pretended to be insane to escape King Abimelech (also known as Achish). In the midst of his distress, David sought the Lord, and Yahweh delivered him from all his fears.

** Psalm 34 is a testament to God's faithfulness, even in the most desperate times. David's words are a call to all who feel broken, lost, or afraid—to seek the Lord, trust in His goodness, and find refuge in His presence. In this song, we've captured the essence of David's experience and brought it to life with a soulful blues sound.

Psalm 34 (WEB):

1 I will bless Yahweh at all times.
His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall boast in Yahweh.
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh magnify Yahweh with me.
Let’s exalt his name together.
4 I sought Yahweh, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to him, and were radiant.
Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
6 This poor man cried, and Yahweh heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him,
and delivers them.
8 Oh taste and see that Yahweh is good.
Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints,
for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,
but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me.
I will teach you the fear of Yahweh.
12 Who is someone who desires life,
and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Depart from evil, and do good.
Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous.
His ears listen to their cry.
16 Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil,
to cut off their memory from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears,
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart,
and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
but Yahweh delivers him out of them all.
20 He protects all of his bones.
Not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall kill the wicked.
Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants.
None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.

Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
I’ll bless the Lord, at all times of the day,
His praises on my lips, never fade away.
My soul will boast in the Lord, so true,
The humble will hear, and they'll rejoice too.

(Chorus)
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
Let’s lift His name, let’s let it be.
I sought the Lord, He heard my cry,
Delivered me from all my fears, He’s nigh.

(Verse 2)
This poor man called, and the Lord, He came,
Saved me from trouble, took away my shame.
His angel camps around those who fear,
In the darkest night, He’s always near.

(Bridge)
Taste and see, the Lord is good,
He’s the shelter in this weary neighborhood.
Even when the lions lack and go hungry still,
Those who seek the Lord shall have their fill.

(Chorus)
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
Let’s lift His name, let’s let it be.
I sought the Lord, He heard my cry,
Delivered me from all my fears, He’s nigh.

(Verse 3)
Keep your tongue from evil, lips from lies,
Seek peace, do good, where truth lies.
The Lord’s eyes are on the righteous, He sees,
His ears hear their cry, He’ll bring them ease.

(Outro)
The broken-hearted, He draws near,
Crushed in spirit, He dries each tear.
The righteous may suffer, but He delivers them all,
None of their bones, in pain shall fall.

Yahweh redeems, every soul He claims,
In His refuge, we find no shame.
