What is the main message of Psalm 34? ›

Thus, Psalm 34 is an individual hymn of thanksgiving of David sung on the occasion of the deliverance of his very life by God, perhaps as the ultimate word about God's help to those who are in need (a summary of all that could be said about God's help in the face of oppression and hurt).

This psalm is titled A Psalm of David when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. A fugitive from Saul, David went to the Philistine city of Gath but found no refuge there and narrowly escaped. Those events are recorded in 1 Samuel 21:10-22:1.

Everyone who seriously studies and applies God's Word learns firsthand that the Lord is good, and he also finds the Lord is an available and reliable stronghold. Further, the person who tastes and sees that the Lord is good finds blessing: true happiness.

I take my refuge in you, the King of Kings, owner of all things, Sovereign One, and protector of the helpless. I know that you'll care for me, provide for me, and satisfy me. I know that you'll protect me, just as a father protects his children. Teach me what it means to fully entrust myself.

Prayer, simple communication with God, shows our reliance and dependence upon Him. He wants us to tell Him about our problems – so make sure you take all of them to Him. Focusing on the Lord, reading our bible, and praying are three ways to increase our faith so that we are able to bless the Lord at ALL times.

The servants of Achish warned him that this was David who had slain 'tens of thousands'. On hearing this, David became very much afraid of Achish as he was in his territory: 'So he feigned insanity in their presence… and acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.

His escape from a dangerous situation is probably what motivated him to write this psalm. However, he was determined to praise the Lord in every situation. The Lord is good all the time. Whether a given moment is difficult or delightful, we ought to praise the Lord.

David assures us that God watches over those who are "righteous," here meaning those who sincerely honor God in their lives (Psalm 34:9). He listens to our prayers and nothing is hidden from Him. He sees all our circ*mstances and provides what we need in each of them (Matthew 6:33–34).

In the Garden of Eden, we are told, “The Lord breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being” (Genesis 2:7). Every breath we take is graciously given to us by God.

In this psalm, David gives thanks to God for hearing his prayers, and for protecting him (Psalm 34:4–7). After thanking God for rescue, David turns to appeal to others to trust in the Lord.

In Psalm 34, David gives testimony of a time when he fled Saul, took refuge with the Philistines, and came to be afraid of King Achish, the king of Gath (1 Samuel 21:10-12). The structure of the first eight verses of this Psalm does two things: it establishes the author's intention to give a testimony (v.

1 I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul will make its boast in the LORD; The humble will hear it and rejoice. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, And let us exalt His name together.

Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit.” Psalm 34:19 “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.” Psalm 34:22 “The Lord redeems the life of his servants; none of those who take refuge in him will be condemned.”
