Lyrics
I will praise the LORD at all times My mouth will continually praise him I will boast in the LORD Let the oppressed hear and rejoice
Magnify the LORD with me! Let’s praise his name together!
I sought the LORD’s help And he answered me He delivered me From all my fears
Those who look to him for help are happy Their faces are not ashamed This oppressed man cried out And the LORD heard He saved him from all his troubles
The LORD’s angel camps around The LORD’s loyal followers And delivers them He delivers them
Taste and see That the LORD is good Taste and see How blessed is the one Who takes shelter in him The LORD is good The LORD is good
Remain loyal to the LORD You chosen people of his For his loyal followers lack nothing Even young lions lack food And go hungry But those who seek the LORD Lack no good thing
Come children! Listen to me! I will teach you What it means to fear the LORD
Do you want to really live? Would you love to live A long, happy life? Then make sure you don’t speak evil words Or use deceptive speech Turn away from evil and do what is right Strive for peace and promote it
The LORD pays attention to the godly And hears their cry for help But the LORD opposes evildoers And wipes out all memory of them From the earth
The godly cry out and the LORD hears He saves them from all their troubles The LORD is near the brokenhearted He delivers those who are discouraged
The godly face many dangers But the LORD saves them From each one of them He protects all his bones Not one of them is broken
Evil people self-destruct Those who hate the godly are punished
The LORD rescues his servants All who take shelter in him Escape punishment
Taste and see That the LORD is good Taste and see How blessed is the one Who takes shelter in him
