Psalms · chapter 34 · verse 19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.Psalm 34:19 · King James Version
What Psalm 34:19 means
The first half is rarely quoted and it is the honest half. Righteousness is not offered here as protection from trouble; many is the word David chooses. The deliverance is out of them, which means being in them first.

David, in this latter part of the psalm, undertakes to teach children. Though a man of war, and anointed to be king, he did not think it below him; though now he had his head so full of cares and his hands of business, yet he could find heart and time to give good counsel to young people, from his own experience.
