Psalm 34

The song 'Psalm 34' by The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is a modern rendition of the biblical Psalm 34, which is a song of praise and trust in God. The lyrics reflect a deep sense of gratitude and reverence towards God, emphasizing the idea that those who seek the Lord will find deliverance and will not be put to shame. The repeated lines 'I sought the Lord, And He answered me, And delivered me, From every fear' encapsulate the central theme of divine intervention and support in times of need.

The chorus 'Magnify the Lord with me, Come exalt His name together' invites listeners to join in communal worship, highlighting the importance of fellowship and collective praise. This call to worship is a common element in many religious songs, aiming to unify believers in their faith and adoration of God. The Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir is known for their powerful gospel music that often encourages participation and reflection on spiritual matters.

The song also touches on the concept of God's goodness and the blessings that come with faith, as seen in the verse 'Oh, taste and see, That the Lord is good'. This metaphorical invitation suggests that experiencing God's presence is akin to savoring something delightful. The assurance that God will provide for all needs ('He'll give you everything') reinforces the message of trust and the belief that faith in God is rewarding both spiritually and materially.
