Psalms 34:7

Protection and safetyAngels and the spiritual worldGod's holiness

5 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.

The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

9 Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
