Psalm 34 resulted from a shocking origin story, in which David pretended to be insane to escape life-threatening danger. From David’s humiliation and desperation comes one of the most beautiful psalms ever written, Psalm 34.
Psalm 34 explains how God lifted David from his fear and failure and protected and delivered him from certain death in Gath. David learned that safety doesn’t come from control, power, or reputation, but in taking refuge in God Himself.
Psalm 34 reminds us that David was broken and crushed. But when he was most afraid, humiliated, and exhausted, God’s nearness was at its strongest, steadiest, and most sustaining.
Psalm 34 serves as a reminder that God may not remove our fear instantly, but he will walk through it with us.
David’s song still speaks to our fears, brokenness, and struggles today.
