This is a very beautiful Psalm, full of faith and trust, and of the
importance of a reverential fear of the LORD for who he is. I believe
that the Psalms is where the poetic beauty of the King James bible
shines forth.
Psalm 34 (I do not put in the verse breaks, I would rather let the words flow.)
I
will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my
mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear
thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his
name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me
from all my fears. They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their
faces were not ashamed. This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him,
and saved him out of all his troubles.
The angel of the LORD
encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. O taste
and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear
him. The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the
LORD shall not want any good thing. Come, ye children, hearken unto
me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth
life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from
evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good;
seek peace, and pursue it.
The eyes of the LORD are upon the
righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD
is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from
the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them
from all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a
broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the
afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them
all. V20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil
shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be
desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them
that trust in him shall be desolate.

V20 is probably prophetic speaking of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross where none of his bones were broken.
