4. I sought the Lord, he heard, and didme from all fears deliver.

7. The angel of the Lord encamps,and round encompassethAll those about that do him fear,and them delivereth.

8. O taste and see that God is good:who trusts in him is bless'd.

9. Fear God his saints: none that him fearshall be with want oppress'd.

10. The lions young may hungry be,and they may lack their food:But they that truly seek the Lordshall not lack any good.

11. O children, hither do ye come,and unto me give ear;I shall you teach to understandhow ye the Lord should fear.

12. What man is he that life desires,to see good would live long?

13. Thy lips refrain from speaking guile,and from ill words thy tongue.

14. Depart from ill, do good, seek peace,pursue it earnestly.

16. The face of God is set againstthose that do wickedly,That he may quite out from the earthcut off their memory.
