While trying to find a new ringtone for my phone, I came across the Ralph Vaughn Williams "O Taste and See." It is a beautiful setting for my favorite verse. Listen:
O taste and see how gracious the Lord is;
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[Psalm 34:8, Coverdale, 1535]
The words above—the words sung—are the those used in the Book of Common Prayer [1662]. The King James Version, a later translation, reads:
O taste and see that the LORD is good:
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[Psalm 34:8, KJV]
blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
[Psalm 34:8, KJV]
