Taste and See the Lord is Good

(1 Samuel 21:10-15; Psalm 52:1-9; Psalm 56:1-13)

1Of David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise will always be on my lips.

ב

2My soul boasts in the LORD; let the oppressed hear and rejoice.

ג

3Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt His name together.

ד

4I sought the LORD, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears.

ה

5Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.

ז

6This poor man called out, and the LORD heard him; He saved him from all his troubles.

ח

7The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.

ט

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

י

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

כ

10Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.

ל

11Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

מ

12Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?

נ

13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.

ס

14Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.

ע

15The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry.

פ

16But the face of the LORD is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth.

צ

17The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears; He delivers them from all their troubles.

ק

18The LORD is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit.

ר

19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him from them all.

ש

20He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken.

ת

21Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned.

22The LORD redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned.
