Taste and See
Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he left.
34 1 I will bless our Father at all times; his praise will always be on my lips.
2 My soul boasts in our Father; let the humble hear and rejoice. 3 Magnify our Father with me; let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought our Father, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant; their faces will never be ashamed. 6 This poor man cried out, and our Father heard him; he saved him from all his troubles. 7 The angel of our Father encamps around those who fear him, and he rescues them.
8 Taste and see that our Father is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him. 9 Fear our Father, you his holy ones, for those who fear him lack nothing. 10 The young lions go hungry and lack, but those who seek our Father lack no good thing.
11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of our Father. 12 Who is the one who desires life and loves many good days? 13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking deceit. 14 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of our Father are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their cry. 16 The face of our Father is against those who do evil, to erase their memory from the earth. 17 The righteous cry out, and our Father hears; he delivers them from all their troubles. 18 Our Father is near to the brokenhearted; he saves those crushed in spirit.
19 The righteous face many afflictions, but our Father delivers him from them all. 20 He guards all his bones; not one of them is broken.
21 Evil will slay the wicked, and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 22 Our Father redeems the soul of his servants; none who take refuge in him will be condemned.
