 I sought the, and he answered me * and delivered me out of all my terror.

Look upon him and be radiant, * and let not your faces be ashamed.

I called in my affliction and the heard me * and saved me from all my troubles.

The angel of the encompasses those who fear him, * and he will deliver them.

Taste and see that the is good; * happy are they who trust in him!

Fear the, you that are his saints, * for those who fear him lack nothing.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the lack nothing that is good.

Come, children, and listen to me; * I will teach you the fear of the.

Who among you loves life * and desires long life to enjoy prosperity?

Keep your tongue from evil&#8209;speaking * and your lips from lying words.

Turn from evil and do good; * seek peace and pursue it.

The eyes of the are upon the righteous, * and his ears are open to their cry.

The face of the is against those who do evil, * to root out the remembrance of them from the earth.
