4 I sought the Lord and He answered me,
And rescued me from all my fears.
⁵ They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces will never be ashamed.
⁶ This wretched man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
⁷ The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him,
And rescues them.

⁸ Taste and see that the Lord is good;
How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
⁹ Fear the Lord, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no lack of anything.
¹⁰ The young lions do without and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord will not lack any good thing.
¹¹ Come, you children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
¹² Who is the person who desires life
And loves length of days, that he may see good?
¹³ Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
¹⁴ Turn from evil and do good;
Seek peace and pursue it.
