A
Study of Psalm Thirty Four
Verse
Four
GNV
Translation
4 I
sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my
terrors
JPS
Translation
Brethren:
Daily it
behooves us to seek the Lord. Place all trust in Him to deliver, and
be joyful in all things. In Psalm 23 we read the verses:
4 Yea, though I should walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me: thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me. 5 Thou dost prepare a table before me in the sight of mine adversaries: thou dost anoint mine head with oil, and my cup runneth over.
Even death cannot hold sway over the believer because Christ has conquered death. Furthermore, the Lord delights in providing the benefits of Providence upon our heads. All things will fade into the background, all fears, shall the believer overcome.

“This
is the reason and cause of his gratitude. I sought the Lord, and he
heard me, and delivered me out of all my fears. This answers to the
history; for when David heard what the servants of Achish said
concerning him, "he laid up the words in his heart, and was
greatly afraid," (See 1
Samuel 21:13). To save him, God caused the epileptic fit to seize
him; and, in consequence, he was dismissed by Achish, as one whose
defection from his master, and union with the Philistines, could be
of no use, and thus David's life and honor were preserved.” Thomas
