8O taste and see that the Lord is good, happy those who take refuge in him.
9Fear the Lord, all his people, for they who fear him lack nothing.
10Even young lions may be poor and hungry, but those who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
11Come, children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12Which of you is desirous of life, loves many and happy days?
13Then guard your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking deceit.
14Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15The eyes of the Lord are towards the righteous, his ears are towards their cry for help.
16The Lord sets his face against those who do evil, to root their memory out of the earth.
17When righteous cry, they are heard by the Lord, and he saves them from all their distresses.
18The Lord is near to the broken-hearted, he helps those whose spirit is crushed.
19Many misfortunes befall the righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all.
