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.
