freeing me from all my fears.5 Those who look to him for help will be radiant with joy;

no shadow of shame will darken their faces.

6 I cried out to the Lord in my suffering, and he heard me.

He set me free from all my fears.

7 For the angel of the Lord guards all who fear him,

and he rescues them.

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good.Oh, the joys of those who trust in him!

9 Let the Lords people show him reverence,for those who honor him will have all they need.

but those who trust in the Lord will never lack any good thing.
