< Psalms 34 >
1 [By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.] I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always 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 boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it, and be glad.
ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπαινεσθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν
3 Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let us exalt his name together.
μεγαλύνατε τὸν κύριον σὺν ἐμοί καὶ ὑψώσωμεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered 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 to him and were radiant, and their faces are not ashamed.
προσέλθατε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ φωτίσθητε καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD 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 the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
παρεμβαλεῖ ἄγγελος κυρίου κύκλῳ τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτούς
8 Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
γεύσασθε καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς ἐλπίζει ἐπ’ αὐτόν
9 Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who 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 those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
πλούσιοι ἐπτώχευσαν καὶ ἐπείνασαν οἱ δὲ ἐκζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσονται παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ διάψαλμα
11 Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
δεῦτε τέκνα ἀκούσατέ μου φόβον κυρίου διδάξω ὑμᾶς
12 Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπῶν ἡμέρας ἰδεῖν ἀγαθάς
13 Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
παῦσον τὴν γλῶσσάν σου ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη σου τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον
14 Turn away 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 the LORD are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν
16 The LORD's face is against those who do evil, to cut off the memory of them from the earth.
πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακὰ τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν
17 The righteous cry out, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
ἐκέκραξαν οἱ δίκαιοι καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτῶν ἐρρύσατο αὐτούς
18 The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
ἐγγὺς κύριος τοῖς συντετριμμένοις τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τῷ πνεύματι σώσει
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
πολλαὶ αἱ θλίψεις τῶν δικαίων καὶ ἐκ πασῶν αὐτῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς
20 He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
κύριος φυλάσσει πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ συντριβήσεται
21 Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
θάνατος ἁμαρτωλῶν πονηρός καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες τὸν δίκαιον πλημμελήσουσιν
22 The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
λυτρώσεται κύριος ψυχὰς δούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ πλημμελήσωσιν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ’ αὐτόν
