Psalms 34
1 BY DAVID, IN HIS CHANGING HIS BEHAVIOR BEFORE ABIMELECH, AND HE DRIVES HIM AWAY, AND HE GOES. [ALEPH-BET] I bless YHWH at all times, His praise [is] continually in my mouth.
To Dauid, whanne he chaungide his mouth bifor Abymalech, and he `droof out Dauid, `and he yede forth. I schal blesse the Lord in al tyme; euere his heriyng is in my mouth.
2 In YHWH my soul boasts herself, The humble hear and rejoice.
Mi soule schal be preisid in the Lord; mylde men here, and be glad.
3 Ascribe greatness to YHWH with me, And we exalt His Name together.
Magnyfie ye the Lord with me; and enhaunse we his name into it silf.
4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.
I souyte the Lord, and he herde me; and he delyueride me fro alle my tribulaciouns.
5 They looked expectingly to Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
Neiye ye to him, and be ye liytned; and youre faces schulen not be schent.
6 This poor [one] called, and YHWH heard, And saved him from all his distresses.
This pore man criede, and the Lord herde hym; and sauyde hym fro alle hise tribulaciouns.
7 A messenger of YHWH is encamping, Around those who fear Him, And He arms them.
The aungel of the Lord sendith in the cumpas of men dredynge hym; and he schal delyuere hem.
8 Taste and see that YHWH [is] good, O the blessedness of the man who trusts in Him.
Taaste ye, and se, for the Lord is swete; blessid is the man, that hopith in hym.
9 Fear YHWH, you His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
Alle ye hooli men of the Lord, drede hym; for no nedynesse is to men dredynge hym.
10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking YHWH do not lack any good,
Riche men weren nedi, and weren hungri; but men that seken the Lord schulen not faile of al good.
11 Come, children, listen to me, I teach you the fear of YHWH.
Come, ye sones, here ye me; Y schal teche you the drede of the Lord.
12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
Who is a man, that wole lijf; loueth to se good daies?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking deceit.
Forbede thi tunge fro yuel; and thi lippis speke not gile.
14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
Turne thou awei fro yuel, and do good; seke thou pees, and perfitli sue thou it.
15 The eyes of YHWH [are] to the righteous, And His ears to their cry.
The iyen of the Lord ben on iust men; and hise eeren ben to her preiers.
16 (The face of YHWH [is] on doers of evil, To cut off their memorial from earth.)
But the cheer of the Lord is on men doynge yuels; that he leese the mynde of hem fro erthe.
17 They cried, and YHWH heard, And delivered them from all their distresses.
Just men cryeden, and the Lord herde hem; and delyueride hem fro alle her tribulaciouns.
18 YHWH [is] near to the broken of heart, And He saves the bruised of spirit.
The Lord is nyy hem that ben of troblid herte; and he schal saue meke men in spirit.
19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous, YHWH delivers him out of them all.
Many tribulaciouns ben of iust men; and the Lord schal delyuere hem fro alle these.
20 He is keeping all his bones, Not one of them has been broken.
The Lord kepith alle the boonys of hem; oon of tho schal not be brokun.
21 Evil puts the wicked to death, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
The deth of synneris is werst; and thei that haten a iust man schulen trespasse.
22 YHWH redeems the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
The Lord schal ayenbie the soulis of hise seruauntis; and alle, that hopen in him, schulen not trespasse.
