< Psalms 34 >
1 I will bless Yhwh at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
τῷ Δαυιδ ὁπότε ἠλλοίωσεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐναντίον Αβιμελεχ καὶ ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εὐλογήσω τὸν κύριον ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ διὰ παντὸς ἡ αἴνεσις αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ στόματί μου
2 My soul shall make her boast in Yhwh: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπαινεσθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν
3 O magnify Yhwh with me, and let us exalt his name together.
μεγαλύνατε τὸν κύριον σὺν ἐμοί καὶ ὑψώσωμεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
4 I sought Yhwh, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
ἐξεζήτησα τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐπήκουσέν μου καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν παροικιῶν μου ἐρρύσατό με
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
προσέλθατε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ φωτίσθητε καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ
6 This poor man cried, And Yhwh heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
οὗτος ὁ πτωχὸς ἐκέκραξεν καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ ἔσωσεν αὐτόν
7 The angel of Yhwh encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
παρεμβαλεῖ ἄγγελος κυρίου κύκλῳ τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτούς
8 O taste and see that Yhwh is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
γεύσασθε καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς ἐλπίζει ἐπ’ αὐτόν
9 O fear Yhwh, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
φοβήθητε τὸν κύριον οἱ ἅγιοι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστέρημα τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek Yhwh shall not want any good thing.
πλούσιοι ἐπτώχευσαν καὶ ἐπείνασαν οἱ δὲ ἐκζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσονται παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ διάψαλμα
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Yhwh.
δεῦτε τέκνα ἀκούσατέ μου φόβον κυρίου διδάξω ὑμᾶς
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπῶν ἡμέρας ἰδεῖν ἀγαθάς
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
παῦσον τὴν γλῶσσάν σου ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη σου τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποίησον ἀγαθόν ζήτησον εἰρήνην καὶ δίωξον αὐτήν
15 The eyes of Yhwh are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν
16 The face of Yhwh is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακὰ τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν
17 The righteous cry, And Yhwh heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
ἐκέκραξαν οἱ δίκαιοι καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτῶν ἐρρύσατο αὐτούς
18 Yhwh is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
ἐγγὺς κύριος τοῖς συντετριμμένοις τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τῷ πνεύματι σώσει
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: But Yhwh delivereth him out of them all.
πολλαὶ αἱ θλίψεις τῶν δικαίων καὶ ἐκ πασῶν αὐτῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
κύριος φυλάσσει πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ συντριβήσεται
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
θάνατος ἁμαρτωλῶν πονηρός καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες τὸν δίκαιον πλημμελήσουσιν
22 Yhwh redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
λυτρώσεται κύριος ψυχὰς δούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ πλημμελήσωσιν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ’ αὐτόν
