II

I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
    delivered me from all my fears.
Look to him and be radiant,
    and your faces may not blush for shame.
This poor one cried out and the Lord heard,
    and from all his distress he saved him.
The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and he saves them.(A)
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in him.(B)
10 Fear the Lord, you his holy ones;
    nothing is lacking to those who fear him.(C)
11 The rich grow poor and go hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
