Psalms 34

1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his countenance before Abimelech; and he let him go, and he departed. I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall be continually in my mouth.

١ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا ادَّعَى الْجُنُونَ أَمَامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَصَرَفَهُ عَنْهُ، فَمَضَى آمِناً. أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. تَسْبِيحُهُ دَائِماً فِي فَمِي.

2 My soul shall boast herself in the Lord: let the meek hear, and rejoice.

٢ تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي بِالرَّبِّ، فَيَسْمَعُنِي الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

3 Magnify you the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.

٣ مَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَظِّمِ اسْمَهُ مَعاً.

4 I sought the Lord diligently, and he listened to me, and delivered me from all my sojournings.

٤ الْتَمَسْتُ الرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَنِي، وأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي.

5 Draw near to him, and be enlightened: and your faces shall not [by any means] be ashamed.

٥ الَّذِينَ تَطَلَّعُوا إِلَيْهِ اسْتَنَارُوا، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قَطُّ.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord listened to him, and delivered him out of all his afflictions.

٦ هَذَا الْمِسْكِينُ اسْتَغَاثَ، فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّبُّ وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِ.

7 The angel of the Lord will encamp round about them that fear him, and will deliver them.

٧ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ يُخَيِّمُ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

8 Taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man who hopes in him.

٨ ذُوقُوا وَانْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ الرَّبَّ. طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

9 Fear the Lord, all you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.

٩ اتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

10 The rich have become poor and hungry: but they that seek the Lord diligently shall not lack any good thing. (Pause)

١٠ تَحْتَاجُ الأَشْبَالُ وَتَجُوعُ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو الرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ.

11 Come, you children, hear me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

١١ تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْبَنُونَ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ الرَّبِّ.

12 What man is there that desires life, loving to see good days?

١٢ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِحَيَاةٍ سَعِيدَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ طَيِّبَةٍ،

13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.

١٣ فَلْيَمْنَعْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَشَفَتَيْهِ عَنْ كَلامِ الْغِشِّ

14 Turn away from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

١٤ لِيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَيَفْعَلِ الْخَيْرَ. لِيَطْلُبِ السَّلامَ وَيَسْعَ لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ

15 The eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their prayer:

١٥ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْعَى الأَبْرَارَ بِعِنَايَتِهِ وَيَسْتَجِيبُ إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ.

16 but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to destroy their memorial from the earth. The righteous cried, and the Lord listened to them,

١٦ وَلَكِنْ يَقِفُ ضِدَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الشَّرَّ لِيَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

17 and delivered them out of all their afflictions.

١٧ يَسْتَغِيثُ الأَبْرَارُ، فَيَسْمَعُ لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِمْ.

18 The Lord is near to them that are of a contrite heart; and will save the lowly in spirit.

١٨ الرَّبُّ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ مُنْكَسِرِي الْقَلْبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ مُنْسَحِقِي الرُّوحِ.

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but out of them all Lord will deliver them.

١٩ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَصَائِبَ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنْقِذُهُ الرَّبُّ.

20 He keeps all their bones: not one of them shall be broken.

٢٠ يَحْفَظُ عِظَامَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَلَا تُكْسَرُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا.

21 The death of sinners is evil: and they that hate righteousness will go wrong.

٢١ الشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ الشِّرِّيرَ، وَالَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

22 The Lord will redeem the souls of his servants: and none of those that hope in him shall go wrong.

٢٢ الرَّبُّ يَفْدِي نُفُوسَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ يَنْجُو.
