Psalm 34:
Come, ye children, hearken unto me:
I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
The LORD is nigh unto them
that are of a broken heart
vs.11,18
"The historical background of this acrostic psalm is related (in 1 Samuel 21:10-15). It bears
all the marks of the testimony on one who narrowly escaped death, just as the passage in Samuel describes. As such, it contains the praise and testimony of the one who was redeemed (verses 1-10), and the seasoned instruction that can stem from such deliverance (verses 11-22).
This psalm unfolds with a praise mode followed by teaching.
1- Personal Testimony (34:1-10);
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. vs.4
2- Personal Teaching (34:11-22).
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants... vs.22." BooksOfTheBible
Many are the afflictions of the righteous:
but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
