1 I will extol the Lord at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory in the Lord; let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3 Glorify the Lord with me; let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces are never covered with shame.
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him; he saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them. Psalm 34:1-7
“Extol” means “praise” or (to use a colloquial phrase!) “big up”.
The “fear” of the LORD includes a sense of reverence, awe and wonder. We all revere someone or something. David points beyond our earthly “fears” to God himself, the only one worthy of our awe.
How can you replace the first with the second? Think back to a time when God has delivered you, and use verses 1-3 to give thanks for it. Look forward to the day God will deliver you from death, and give thanks for it. And ask God to help you to fear him today.
