Psalms 34

1 Of David. When he made a change in his behaviour before Abimelech, who sent him away, and he went. I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.

١ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا غَيَّرَ عَقْلَهُ قُدَّامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ فَطَرَدَهُ فَٱنْطَلَقَ أُبَارِكُ ٱلرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. دَائِمًا تَسْبِيحُهُ فِي فَمِي.

2 My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.

٢ بِٱلرَّبِّ تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي. يَسْمَعُ ٱلْوُدَعَاءُ فَيَفْرَحُونَ.

3 O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.

٣ عَظِّمُوا ٱلرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَلِّ ٱسْمَهُ مَعًا.

4 I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.

٤ طَلَبْتُ إِلَى ٱلرَّبِّ فَٱسْتَجَابَ لِي، وَمِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي أَنْقَذَنِي.

5 Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.

٥ نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ وَٱسْتَنَارُوا، وَوُجُوهُهُمْ لَمْ تَخْجَلْ.

6 This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.

٦ هَذَا ٱلْمِسْكِينُ صَرَخَ، وَٱلرَّبُّ ٱسْتَمَعَهُ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ ضِيقَاتِهِ خَلَّصَهُ.

7 The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.

٧ مَلَاكُ ٱلرَّبِّ حَالٌّ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

8 By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.

٨ ذُوقُوا وَٱنْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ ٱلرَّبَّ! طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ ٱلْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

9 Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.

٩ ٱتَّقُوا ٱلرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

10 The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.

١٠ ٱلْأَشْبَالُ ٱحْتَاجَتْ وَجَاعَتْ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو ٱلرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ ٱلْخَيْرِ.

11 Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.

١١ هَلُمَّ أَيُّهَا ٱلْبَنُونَ ٱسْتَمِعُوا إِلَيَّ فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ ٱلرَّبِّ.

12 What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

١٢ مَنْ هُوَ ٱلْإِنْسَانُ ٱلَّذِي يَهْوَى ٱلْحَيَاةَ، وَيُحِبُّ كَثْرَةَ ٱلْأَيَّامِ لِيَرَى خَيْرًا؟

13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.

١٣ صُنْ لِسَانَكَ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَشَفَتَيْكَ عَنِ ٱلتَّكَلُّمِ بِٱلْغِشِّ.

14 Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.

١٤ حِدْ عَنِ ٱلشَّرِّ، وَٱصْنَعِ ٱلْخَيْرَ. ٱطْلُبِ ٱلسَّلَامَةَ، وَٱسْعَ وَرَاءَهَا.

15 The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.

١٥ عَيْنَا ٱلرَّبِّ نَحْوَ ٱلصِّدِّيقِينَ، وَأُذُنَاهُ إِلَى صُرَاخِهِمْ.

16 The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to take away the memory of them from the earth.

١٦ وَجْهُ ٱلرَّبِّ ضِدُّ عَامِلِي ٱلشَّرِّ لِيَقْطَعَ مِنَ ٱلْأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

17 The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.

١٧ أُولَئِكَ صَرَخُوا، وَٱلرَّبُّ سَمِعَ، وَمِنْ كُلِّ شَدَائِدِهِمْ أَنْقَذَهُمْ.

18 The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.

١٨ قَرِيبٌ هُوَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْمُنْكَسِرِي ٱلْقُلُوبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ ٱلْمُنْسَحِقِي ٱلرُّوحِ.

19 Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.

١٩ كَثِيرَةٌ هِيَ بَلَايَا ٱلصِّدِّيقِ، وَمِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنَجِّيهِ ٱلرَّبُّ.

20 He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.

٢٠ يَحْفَظُ جَمِيعَ عِظَامِهِ. وَاحِدٌ مِنْهَا لَا يَنْكَسِرُ.

21 Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.

٢١ ٱلشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ ٱلشِّرِّيرَ، وَمُبْغِضُو ٱلصِّدِّيقِ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

22 The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.

٢٢ ٱلرَّبُّ فَادِي نُفُوسِ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ ٱتَّكَلَ عَلَيْهِ لَا يُعَاقَبُ.
