1.The Lord I will at all times bless,
In praise my mouth employ;
My soul shall in Jehovah boast,
The meek shall hear with joy.
O magnify the Lord with me,
Let us exult His Name;
When in distress on Him I called,
He to my rescue came.

2.We looked to Him and light received,
Ashamed we shall not be;
Our humble cry Jehovah heard,
From trouble set us free.
The angel of the Lord encamps
Around about His own,
Delivers them from all their foes,
Lest they be overthrown.

3.O taste and see that God is good
To all that seek His face;
Yea, blest the man that trust in Him,
Confiding in His grace.
O fear the Lord, all ye His saints;
No want shall bring distress;
The lions young may pine for food,
The saints all good possess.
