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

(G)Taste and see that the Lord is good;
How (H)blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
Fear the Lord, you (I)His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is (J)no lack of anything.
10 The young lions do without and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord will (K)not lack any good thing.
11 (L)Come, you children, listen to me;
(M)I will teach you (N)the fear of the Lord.
