Day 14 Psalm 34:1-8 Give thanks to God for His goodness and salvation
（Memorization Scripture: vv. 1-3,7- 8）

1 I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good;
Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

After David departed from Abimelech the king of the Philistines, he wrote the psalm to give thanks to God for answering him when he called upon the Lord in distress, and listening to his prayer in trouble. David said “I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” (v1). Also the psalmist invited us to exalt His name and to give thanks to God, for He sent His messengers far off and encamped all around those who fear Him, so that those who looked to Him will not be ashamed.
When you face challenges and go through a spiritual valley, please do not forget that our God is good. Open your eyes of faith and look around, “The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.” (v7) For we not only see, but taste the Grace of the Lord, and we (shall) live through the greatness of God day by day. David said: “Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.” (v19)Praise the Lord, blessed is the man who trusts in Him!

Day 14 詩篇34:1-8 為著 神的美善和救恩感謝祂
（背誦1-3，7-8）
1 我要時時稱頌耶和華，
讚美祂的話必常在我口中。
2 我的心必因耶和華誇耀，
謙卑人聽見，就要喜樂。
3 你們和我當稱耶和華為大，
一同高舉祂的名。
4 我曾尋求耶和華，祂就應允我，
救我脫離了一切的恐懼。
5 凡仰望祂的便有光榮，
他們的臉必不蒙羞。
6 我這困苦人呼求，耶和華便垂聽，
救我脫離一切患難。
7 耶和華的使者在敬畏祂的人四圍安營，搭救他們。
8 你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道祂是美善。
投靠祂的人有福了！


【心得分享】大衛從非利士王亞比米勒面前逃離後，就作詩感謝 神在急難中應允他的尋求；在困苦艱難中垂聽他的禱告；救他脫離了一切的恐懼和患難。他說：「我要時時稱頌耶和華，讚美祂的話必常在我口中」。也邀請我們和他一同來高舉稱謝耶和華的名，因為祂差派使者四圍安營保守敬畏祂的人，叫凡仰望祂的人必不蒙羞。
當你遇到困境和屬靈低谷時，千萬不要忘記，我們的 神是美善的，張開你信心的眼睛看：「祂使者正在你的四圍安營，如同當年滿山的火車火馬圍繞以利沙一樣圍繞你」。不但看見，而且我們還要去嘗嘗主的恩典，在每天的實際生活去經歷 神的美善。大衛說：「義人多有苦難，但耶和華救他脫離這一切」。（參詩34：19）真是感謝主，投靠祂的人有福了！
