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.

א

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,

ו

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!
