PSALM 34 MY SOUL MAKES ITS BOAST IN THE LORD
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul makes its boast in the LORD;
let the humble hear and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the LORD with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him
and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them. – Psalm 34:1-7

WHEN I SOUGHT THE LORD by ILMA
I will glorify the Lord incessantly with my lips
My whole being will constantly seek him
To all the servants of the Lord; go and praise your God
Let your hearts abide in him and always walk in love.
When I sought the Lord, he heard me and answered
He pacified all my fears and freed me from shame
All who cried out to him during troubled times
He didn’t give me a deaf ear, but listened to all of them.
Those who serve the Lord and fear him are full of joy
Their faces become radiant and their eyes exudes love
When I sought the Lord, he surrounded angels around me
He delivered me from all evil and tactics of the enemy.
