Refrain:O taste and see that the Lord is gracious. 1I will bless the Lord at all times; • his praise shall ever be in my mouth. 2My soul shall glory in the Lord; • let the humble hear and be glad. 3O magnify the Lord with me; • let us exalt his name together. 4I sought the Lord and he answered me • and delivered me from all my fears. 5Look upon him and be radiant • and your faces shall not be ashamed. R 6This poor soul cried, and the Lord heard me • and saved me from all my troubles. 7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him • and delivers them. 8O taste and see that the Lord is gracious; • blessed is the one who trusts in him. 9Fear the Lord, all you his holy ones, • for those who fear him lack nothing. 10Lions may lack and suffer hunger, • but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. R 11Come, my children, and listen to me; • I will teach you the fear of the Lord. 12Who is there who delights in life • and longs for days to enjoy good things? 13Keep your tongue from evil • and your lips from lying words. 14Turn from evil and do good; • seek peace and pursue it. R 15The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous • and his ears are open to their cry. 16The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, • to root out the remembrance of them from the earth. 17The righteous cry and the Lord hears them • and delivers them out of all their troubles. 18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted • and will save those who are crushed in spirit. R 19Many are the troubles of the righteous; • from them all will the Lord deliver them. 20He keeps all their bones, • so that not one of them is broken. 21But evil shall slay the wicked • and those who hate the righteous will be condemned. 22The Lord ransoms the life of his servants • and will condemn none who seek refuge in him. Refrain:O taste and see that the Lord is gracious. Send your holy angels to watch over us, O God, that on our lips will be found your truth and in our hearts your love; so we may ever taste your goodness in the land of the living; through Jesus Christ our Lord. |
