Psalms 34
1 A Psalm of David; when he changed his demeanour before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
| לְדָוִד בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת־טַעְמוֹ לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וֽ͏ַיְגָרֲשֵׁהוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת־יְהוָה בְּכָל־עֵת תָּמִיד תְּֽהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִֽי׃ |
2 My soul shall glory in the LORD; the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
| בַּיהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ |
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt His name together.
| גַּדְּלוּ לַיהוָה אִתִּי וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּֽו׃ |
4 I sought the LORD, and He answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
| דָּרַשְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָה וְעָנָנִי וּמִכָּל־מְגוּרוֹתַי הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ |
5 They looked unto Him, and were radiant; and their faces shall never be abashed.
| הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ וּפְנֵיהֶם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ |
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard, and saved him out of all his troubles.
| זֶה עָנִי קָרָא וַיהוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל־צָרוֹתָיו הוֹשִׁיעֽוֹ׃ |
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear Him, and delivereth them.
| חֹנֶה מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה סָבִיב לִֽירֵאָיו וַֽיְחַלְּצֵֽם׃ |
8 O consider and see that the LORD is good; happy is the man that taketh refuge in Him.
| טַעֲמוּ וּרְאוּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה אַֽשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ |
9 O fear the LORD, ye His holy ones; for there is no want to them that fear Him.
| יְראוּ אֶת־יְהוָה קְדֹשָׁיו כִּי־אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃ |
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger; but they that seek the LORD want not any good thing.
| כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵבוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁי יְהוָה לֹא־יַחְסְרוּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ |
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
| לְֽכוּ־בָנִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִי יִֽרְאַת יְהוָה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶֽם׃ |
12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?
| מִֽי־הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים אֹהֵב יָמִים לִרְאוֹת טֽוֹב׃ |
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
| נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנְךָ מֵרָע וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָֽה׃ |
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
| סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ |
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and His ears are open unto their cry.
| עֵינֵי יְהוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִים וְאָזְנָיו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ |
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
| פְּנֵי יְהוָה בְּעֹשֵׂי רָע לְהַכְרִית מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ |
17 They cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
| צָעֲקוּ וַיהוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל־צָרוֹתָם הִצִּילָֽם׃ |
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
| קָרוֹב יְהוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־רוּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ |
19 Many are the ills of the righteous, but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
| רַבּוֹת רָעוֹת צַדִּיק וּמִכֻּלָּם יַצִּילֶנּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
| שֹׁמֵר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָיו אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה לֹא נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ |
21 Evil shall kill the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall be held guilty.
| תְּמוֹתֵת רָשָׁע רָעָה וְשֹׂנְאֵי צַדִּיק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃ |
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of His servants; and none of them that take refuge in Him shall be desolate.
| פּוֹדֶה יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ עֲבָדָיו וְלֹא יֶאְשְׁמוּ כָּֽל־הַחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ |
