⁷The angel of the Lord encamps
   around those who fear him, and delivers them.
⁸O taste and see that the Lord is good;
   happy are those who take refuge in him.
⁹O fear the Lord, you his holy ones,
   for those who fear him have no want.
¹⁰The young lions suffer want and hunger,
   but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

¹¹Come, O children, listen to me;
   I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
¹²Which of you desires life,
   and covets many days to enjoy good?
¹³Keep your tongue from evil,
   and your lips from speaking deceit.
¹⁴Depart from evil, and do good;
   seek peace, and pursue it.
