From Shadowland: Songs from the Valley · 2025 · 4:15·Track 4 of 12
Lyrics

I will bless the Lord at all times
His praise will always rise
When my soul was crushed with sorrow
He heard my every cry
I sought the Lord, He answered me
And freed me from my fears
Those who look on Him are radiant
Their shame will disappear

Oh, taste and see the Lord is good
His mercy never ends
He draws the broken close to Him
The lowly He defends
The righteous call, He hears their voice
Delivers through the storm
So I will bless the Lord my God
Forever I am Yours

The angel of the Lord surrounds
The ones who walk in awe
He shelters them with holy fire
And keeps them safe and strong
Though trials rise and shadows fall
His goodness still remains
He saves the crushed in spirit
And binds up every pain

Oh, taste and see the Lord is good
His mercy never ends
He draws the broken close to Him
The lowly He defends
The righteous call, He hears their voice
Delivers through the storm
So I will bless the Lord my God
Forever I am Yours

Not one of His will be condemned
He paid the price in full
He's near the heart that's trembling
He lifts the soul made dull
Magnify the Lord with me
Let us exalt His name
From morning light to evening rest
Forever He's the same

Oh, taste and see the Lord is good
His mercy never ends
He draws the broken close to Him
The lowly He defends
The righteous call, He hears their voice
Delivers through the storm
So I will bless the Lord my God
Forever I am Yours

I will bless the Lord
Forever I am Yours

Taste and see how good the LORD is; happy the man who takes refuge in Him!

Psalm 34:8 · NJPS
Read Psalm 34

1Of David, when he feigned madness in the presence of Abimelech, who turned him out, and he left.

2I bless the LORD at all times; praise of Him is ever in my mouth.

3I glory in the LORD; let the lowly hear it and rejoice.

4Exalt the LORD with me; let us extol His name together.

5I turned to the LORD, and He answered me; He saved me from all my terrors.

6Men look to Him and are radiant; let their faces not be downcast.

7Here was a lowly man who called, and the LORD listened, and delivered him from all his troubles.

8The angel of the LORD camps around those who fear Him and rescues them.

9Taste and see how good the LORD is; happy the man who takes refuge in Him!

10Fear the LORD, you His consecrated ones, for those who fear Him lack nothing.

11Lions have been reduced to starvation, but those who turn to the LORD shall not lack any good.

12Come, my sons, listen to me; I will teach you what it is to fear the LORD.

13Who is the man who is eager for life, who desires years of good fortune?

14Guard your tongue from evil, your lips from deceitful speech.

15Shun evil and do good, seek amity and pursue it.

16The eyes of the LORD are on the righteous, His ears attentive to their cry.

17The face of the LORD is set against evildoers, to erase their names from the earth.

18They cry out, and the LORD hears, and saves them from all their troubles.

19The LORD is close to the brokenhearted; those crushed in spirit He delivers.

20Though the misfortunes of the righteous be many, the LORD will save him from them all,

21Keeping all his bones intact, not one of them being broken.

22One misfortune is the deathblow of the wicked; the foes of the righteous shall be ruined.

23The LORD redeems the life of His servants; all who take refuge in Him shall not be ruined.
