I heard the Lord Say,

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. Psalm 34:19

I took special notice of how “Righteous” is used in these verses.

God is calling His people by name (Righteous) when adapting to His Covenant Agreement. One person cannot enter into A covenant alone.

All parties must consent to the terms of the agreement – in any Covenant Relationship. Psalm 34, tells us God will keep His part. However, other participants – must work out due diligence as well.

God’s Part in Covering the Righteous

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. Psalm 34:15

The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:17

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. Psalm 34:21

Participants Part in Righteousness

1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:1-3

8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. 9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. Psalm 34:8-9

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalm 34:11-14

The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. Psalm 34:16

And the Lord Says,

A Covenant I give unto My people. Let them hear what thus saith the Lord. Open wide your ears – all ye people and hear the Word of the Lord.

You have many worthless contracts in life. You sign up for warranties. When things break down – specific parties are responsible for fixing and restoring items. Yet, they try to find loop holes not to give redemption.

I have entered into a Covenant Agreement with My people through My Word. My Word cannot be broken.

I AM the Justice System by which My Word is governed.

Govern yourselves according to The Word of God. I guarantee I will show up for Redemption.

1 O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. 2 Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; 3 And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the south. Psalm 107:1-3 and Psalm 107:1-43

Relationship, Honor, Praise, and Worship

1 A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. Psalm 34:1-3

Reliance on Godly Leadership, Submission

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4

Trust, Humility, Salvation

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. Psalm 34:5-6

Protection, Covenant Keeping

The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psalm 34:7

Loyalty

O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him. Psalm 34:8

Godly Counsel and Wisdom

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. 12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? 13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. 14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. Psalm 34:11-14

Provision

9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him. 10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing. Psalm 34:9-10

Guarantee, Answered Prayer

15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. 16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. 17 The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. Psalm 34:15-17

Promise, Helper

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. 19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. 20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Psalm 34:18-20

Protection

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. 22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate. Psalm 34:21-22
