What Else? Psalm 34

I can only Speak
as I have found.
God has always been with me,
whether I have noticed him
or not.
when I am terrified,
which I am,
he is with me.
he walks with me,
hears my cries,
and answers me.

When I forget him,
he doesn’t forget me,
he rescues me
from myself
and all I bring upon myself.

Times can be hard,
but God is there.
He is my refuge,
the only place
to find rest
and shelter.

And so
I praise him.

What else can I do

Psalm 34:1-8 (NIVUK)

Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.

¹I will extol the Lord at all times;
    his praise will always be on my lips.
²I will glory in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
³Glorify the Lord with me:
    let us exalt his name together.

⁴I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all my fears.
⁵Those who look to him are radiant;
    their faces are never covered with shame.
⁶This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.

⁸Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
