2
Beth My soul shall glory in the LORD; the meek shall hear of this, and be glad.
3

8 Cheth O taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man that shall trust in him. 9 Teth O fear the LORD, ye his saints; for those that fear him lack nothing. 10 Jod The young lions do lack and suffer hunger, but those that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.

19 Koph Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD shall deliver him out of them all, 20 Resh keeping all his bones; not one of them shall be broken. 21 Schin Evil shall slay the wicked; and those that hate the righteous shall be declared guilty. 22 Tau The LORD ransoms the soul of his slaves, and none of those that trust in him shall be declared guilty.
