⁸ Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good: Blessed is the man that taketh refuge in him.

⁴ For as touching those who were once enlightened and tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Spirit,

⁵ and tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come,

² as newborn babes, long for the spiritual milk which is without guile, that ye may grow thereby unto salvation;

³ if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious:

¹⁰³ How sweet are thy words unto my taste! `Yea, sweeter' than honey to my mouth!

¹⁴ And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, saith Jehovah.

⁵ My soul shall be satisfied as with marrow and fatness; And my mouth shall praise thee with joyful lips;

¹² Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.

¹ That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we beheld, and our hands handled, concerning the Word of life

² (and the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare unto you the life, the eternal `life', which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us);

³ that which we have seen and heard declare we unto you also, that ye also may have fellowship with us: yea, and our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ:

⁷ How precious is thy lovingkindness, O God! And the children of men take refuge under the shadow of thy wings.

¹² O Jehovah of hosts, Blessed is the man that trusteth in thee. Psalm 85 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of the sons of Korah.

¹⁷ For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

¹ Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The lovingkindness of God `endureth' continually.

¹⁰ Oh continue thy lovingkindness unto them that know thee, And thy righteousness to the upright in heart.

¹ I am come into my garden, my sister, `my' bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

⁷ Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God.

⁸ He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

⁹ Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him.

¹⁰ Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son `to be' the propitiation for our sins.

³ As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.
