OH TASTE AND SEE THAT THE LORD IS GOOD!!

O taste and see that the LORD is good;
happy are those who take refuge in him

Background

After young David killed Goliath he became a friend to the Israelite King Saul. At one point however, Saul became very jealous of David and his anger turned against him. Most scholars agree this Psalm was written to celebrate God’s protection for David when he was being chased all over the countryside by an angry King Saul. Note David’s testimony:

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me,
and delivered me from all my fears.
6 This poor soul cried, and was heard by the LORD,
and was saved from every trouble.
7 The angel of the LORD encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
