Psalms 34:5
3 Magnify 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.
Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
