    and delivered me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are (B)radiant,
    and their faces shall never be ashamed.
(C)This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
    and (D)saved him out of all his troubles.

    (I)Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
    for those who fear him have no lack!
10 (J)The young lions suffer want and hunger;
    but those who (K)seek the Lord lack no good thing.
