Berean Standard Bible

“Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.”

Psalms 34:9

Save as image

Study note

David wrote this psalm after escaping from the Philistine king Abimelech (also called Achish) by acting insane. It is an acrostic of thanks and teaching, moving from personal praise to invitation.
