Psalms 34
1 A Psalme of Dauid, when he changed his behauiour before Abimelech, who droue him away, and he departed. I will alway giue thankes vnto the Lord: his praise shalbe in my mouth continually.
א I will bless Adonai at all times. His tehilah ·praise song· will always be in my mouth.
2 My soule shall glory in the Lord: the humble shall heare it, and be glad.
בּ My soul shall boast in Adonai. The humble shall sh'ma ·hear obey· it, and be glad.
3 Praise ye the Lord with me, and let vs magnifie his Name together.
גּ Oh magnify Adonai with me. Let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me: yea, he deliuered me out of all my feare.
דּ I sought Adonai, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They shall looke vnto him, and runne to him: and their faces shall not be ashamed, saying,
ה They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
6 This poore man cryed, and the Lord heard him, and saued him out of all his troubles.
ז This poor man cried, and Adonai sh'ma ·heard obeyed· him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The Angel of the Lord pitcheth round about them, that feare him, and deliuereth them.
ח Ha mal'ak Yahweh [The Angel of He sustains breathing] encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Taste ye and see, howe gratious the Lord is: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
ט Oh taste and see that Adonai is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Feare the Lord, ye his Saintes: for nothing wanteth to them that feare him.
י Oh fear Adonai, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 The lyons doe lacke and suffer hunger, but they, which seeke the Lord, shall want nothing that is good.
כּ The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Adonai shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come children, hearken vnto me: I will teache you the feare of the Lord.
ל Come, you children, sh'ma ·hear obey· unto me. I will teach you the fear of Adonai.
12 What man is he, that desireth life, and loueth long dayes for to see good?
מ Who of you takes pleasure in living? Who 'ahav ·affectionately loves· a long life to see good things?
13 Keepe thy tongue from euill, and thy lips, that they speake no guile.
נ [If you do], keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from deceiving talk;
14 Eschewe euill and doe good: seeke peace and follow after it.
ס turn from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and fervently pursue it!
15 The eyes of the Lord are vpon the righteous, and his eares are open vnto their crie.
ע For Adonai’s eyes are toward the upright. His ears listen to their prayers.
16 But the face of the Lord is against them that doe euill, to cut off their remembrance from the earth.
פּ But Adonai’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
17 The righteous crie, and the Lord heareth them, and deliuereth them out of all their troubles.
צ The upright cry, and Adonai sh'ma ·hears obeys·, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is neere vnto them that are of a contrite heart, and will saue such as be afflicted in Spirite.
ק Adonai is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19 Great are the troubles of the righteous: but the Lord deliuereth him out of them all.
ר Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Adonai delivers him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
שׁ He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 But malice shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous, shall perish.
תּ Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the upright shall be condemned guilty.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soules of his seruants: and none, that trust in him, shall perish.
Adonai redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned guilty.
