Taste and See the Lord is Good (1 Samuel 21:10-15; Psalm 52:1-9; Psalm 56:1-13) 1By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise is in my mouth. ב 2In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice. ג 3Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together. ד 4I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me. ה 5They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed. ז 6This poor one called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him. ח 7A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them. ט 8Taste ye and see that Jehovah is good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him. י 9Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him. כ 10Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good, ל 11Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you. מ 12Who is the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good? נ 13Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit. ס 14Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it. ע 15The eyes of Jehovah are unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry. פ 16(The face of Jehovah is on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.) צ 17They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them. ק 18Near is Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth. ר 19Many are the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him. ש 20He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken. ת 21Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate. 22Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate! |
