An acrostic from the cave era: 'A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanor before Abimelech, who drove him away.' 'I will bless Jehovah at all times… Oh magnify Jehovah with me.' This poor man cried; the angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him. 'Oh taste and see that Jehovah is good' (1 Peter 2:3). Jehovah is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart. 'He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken': John 19:36 hears it at the cross. Evil shall slay the wicked; Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants.
