LECTIO:
R. (9a) Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
I will bless the LORD at all times;
his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
Let my soul glory in the LORD;
the lowly will hear me and be glad.
R. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Glorify the LORD with me,
let us together extol his name.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
R. Taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
Look to him that you may be radiant with joy,
and your faces may not blush with shame.
When the poor one called out, the LORD heard,
and from all his distress he saved him.

STUDIUM:
Originally, this was an acrostic poem. It is a thanksgiving. In this psalm one letter is missing and two are in reverse order. The psalmist, having been rescued can encourage us, to trust in God.
MEDITATIO:
This reminds me of Saint Faustina's "Lord, I trust in You." Even though, the Divine Mercy message confuses me, I do get the "Lord, I trust in You." It's an easy prayer.
ORATIO:
Lord, I trust that You have a plan for me and that it will be good. I trust You.
CONTEMPLATIO:
My life reveals Your care for me. I should always just trust You.
