Taste and See the Lord is Good

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

1{{[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed.

א

}} I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.

ב

2My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [thereof], and be glad.

ג

3O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

ד

4I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

ה

5They looked unto him, and were lightened:

ו

and their faces were not ashamed.

ז

6This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

ח

7The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

ט

8O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.

י

9O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.

כ

10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].

ל

11Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

מ

12What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?

נ

13Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

ס

14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

ע

15The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] unto their cry.

פ

16The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

צ

17[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

ק

18The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

ר

19Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

ש

20He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

ת

21Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
