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!
