Psalm 34:8 is a verse from the Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The verse reads: "Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him" (New International Version). In Hebrew, it is written as טַעֲמוּ וּרְאוּ כִּי-טוֹב יְהוָה; אַשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר הַחֹסֶה בּוֹ (Ta'amu v'ru ki tov Adonai; Ashrei ha'gaver ha'choseh bo). This verse is part of a psalm traditionally attributed to King David, which is a song of praise and thanksgiving. The phrase "taste and see" is often interpreted as an invitation to experience the goodness of God through personal faith and devotion. The verse is frequently quoted in religious contexts to encourage trust in God's providence and to highlight the blessings of seeking refuge in Him. Translations of this verse in other languages include: Gusta y vean que el Señor es bueno; dichoso el hombre que en él se refugia in Spanish, Goutez et voyez que le Seigneur est bon; heureux l'homme qui se réfugie en lui in French, and Kostet und sehet, dass der HERR gut ist; wohl dem Menschen, der sich bei ihm bergt in German.
