8 Taste and see
that the Lord is
good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in
him.
9 Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack
nothing.
10 The lions may grow weak and
hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, my children, listen to
me;
I will teach you the fear of
the Lord.
12 Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good
days,
13 keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14 Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15 The eyes of
the Lord are on the
righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their
cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against those who do
evil,
to blot out their name from the
earth.
17 The righteous
cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their
troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the
brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in
spirit.
19 The righteous
person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them
all;
20 he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21 Evil will slay
the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be
condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue his
servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be
condemned.
