Blessing the Lord All the Time -Psalm 34

Be determined to always give praise
uttering continually in God to boast
making the humble hear and be glad
wherever they are in land and coast

Seeking the Lord with all your fears
His ears heard freeing you from them all
the poor cried out to the Lord himself
saving them having heard their call

What blessing it is to trust in the Lord
this is evident when you receive His taste
seeing all that's God is abundantly good
come to the Lord then you'll make no haste

Learn to do good and from evil depart
speak no guile but peace always seek
for the Lord's eyes are on the righteous
as He looks to the humble and meek

The righteous may face many afflictions
but from them all the Lord will redeem
so praise the Lord for all His blessings
everlasting mercies from the one you esteem
