Psalm 34, N.I.V

I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
My soul will boast in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.

I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
He delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.

This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles
The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
And he delivers them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
Fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him lack nothing.

The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
He delivers them from all their troubles.
The Lord is close to the broken hearted
And saves those who are crushed in spirit.

Evil will slay the wicked;
The foes of the righteous will be condemned.
The Lord Redeems his servants;
No one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.

Psalm 66, N.I.V.

Shout with joy to God, all the earth!
Sing to the glory of his name;
offer him glory and praise!
Praise our God, 0 peoples,
let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives
and kept our feet from slipping.

For you, 0 God, tested us;
you refined us like silver.
You brought us into prison
and laid burdens on our backs.

You let men ride over our heads;
we went through fire and water,
but you brought us to a place of abundance.

I will come to your temple with
burnt offerings and fulfill my vows to you
vows my lips promised and my
mouth spoke when I was in trouble.

Come and listen, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue.

If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the Lord would not have listened;
but God has surely listened
and heard my voice in prayer.

Praise be to God, who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld his love from me!
