Taste and see that the Lord is good

(1 Samuel 21:8-15)
1
For David, when he changed his countenance before Achimelech, who dismissed him, and he went his way. [1 Kings 21]
2
I will bless the Lord at all times, his praise shall be always in my mouth.
3
In the Lord shall my soul be praised: let the meek hear and rejoice.
4
O magnify the Lord with me; and let us extol his name together.
5
I sought the Lord, and he heard me; and he delivered me from all my troubles.
6
Come ye to him and be enlightened: and your faces shall not be confounded.
7
This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him: and saved him out of all his troubles.
8
The angel of the Lord shall encamp round about them that fear him: and shall deliver them.
9
O taste, and see that the Lord is sweet: blessed is the man that hopeth in him.
10
Fear the Lord, all ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
11
The rich have wanted, and have suffered hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not be deprived of any good.
12
Come, children, hearken to me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
13
Who is the man that desireth life: who loveth to see good days?
14
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
15
Turn away from evil and do good: seek after peace and pursue it.
16
The eyes of the Lord are upon the just: and his ears unto their prayers.
17
But the countenance of the Lord is against them that do evil things: to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
18
The just cried, and the Lord heard them: and delivered them out of all their troubles.
19
The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a contrite heart: and he will save the humble of spirit.
20
Many are the afflictions of the just; but out of them all will the Lord deliver them.
21
The Lord keepeth all their bones, not one of them shall be broken.
22
The death of the wicked is very evil: and they that hate the just shall be guilty.
23
The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall offend.

Taste and see that the Lord is good

(1 Samuel 21:8-15)
1
(a) I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
2
My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3
Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let’s exalt his name together.
4
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5
They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
6
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7
The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8
Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9
Oh fear the LORD, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
14
Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15
The LORD’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
16
The LORD’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
17
The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20
He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21
Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
