Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
You cannot know the Lord's goodness by report alone; you must taste it yourself through living, vital participation in His grace. Faith is the soul's taste, and those who test the Lord by their confidence always find Him good and become themselves blessed.
AI summary
The Lord is essentially, infinitely, and immutably good; through Christ He is communicatively good to others. In conversion a new taste is given so that gracious souls have a saving experimental knowledge of His grace and goodness in Christ; every taste now engages trust in the Lord.
AI summary
David celebrates a signal deliverance: when he fled to King Achish of Gath, whom he reckoned his deadliest enemy after Saul, he feigned madness to escape certain death. That God granted him escape contrary to all expectation shows a memorable instance of His favor, fit for the instruction of the whole Church.
