Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David; when he changed his behaviour 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.
David loe Abimelek hmaa ah kamthu angsak moe, anih mah haek ving pacoeng ah tarik ih David ih Saam laa. Angraeng loe tahamhoihaih ka paek poe han: anih pakoehhaih loe ka pahni hoi palai ah om poe tih.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.
Ka hinghaih mah Angraeng to amoek haih tih: poeknaem kaminawk mah thaih o nasoe loe, anghoe o nasoe.
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
Angraeng to na pakoeh o haih ah, anih ih ahmin nawnto pakoeh o si.
4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
Angraeng khaeah ka hnik naah, anih mah ang pathim; ka zithaihnawk boih thung hoiah ang pahlong.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces shall never be confounded.
Anih khen kaminawk loe aanghaih to hnuk o: nihcae mikhmai ah azathaih om ai.
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
Angraeng mah amtang kami kawkhaih lok to thaih pae moe, raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah anih to pahlong.
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Anih zithaih tawn kaminawk loe Angraeng ih vankaminawk mah takui khoep moe, nihcae to pahlong.
8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
Angraeng hoihhaih to pataeng oh loe, khen o tanoek ah: anih khae amha kami loe tahamhoih.
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
Nangcae anih ih kaciim kaminawk, Angraeng to zii oh: anih zii kami loe amtanghaih om mak ai.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.
Saning nawk kaipuinawk loe thazai o sut moe, zok amthlam o; toe Angraeng pakrong kaminawk loe kahoih hmuen angaihaih om mak ai.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Nangcae nawktanawk, angzo oh, ka lok hae tahngai oh: Angraeng zithaih loklam kang patuk o han.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
Kahoih hmuen to hnuk moe, hinglung sawk na koeh maw?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
Loksae thuih han ai ah, na palai to angsumh loe, lok amlai han ai ah, na pahni to angsum ah.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Kasae hmuen to caeh taak ah loe, kahoih hmuen to sah ah; angdaehhaih to pakrongh loe patom ah.
15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are [open] unto their cry.
Angraeng ih mik loe katoeng kaminawk nuiah oh moe, nihcae hanghaih lok to tahngaih pae.
16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
Sethaih sah kaminawk loe a oh o haih long hoiah pahnet ving han khoek to tamit bit hanah, Angraeng mah mikhmai angqoi taak.
17 [The righteous] cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.
Katoeng kaminawk loe hangh o naah, Angraeng mah thaih pae moe, nihcae to raihaihnawk boih thung hoiah pahlong.
18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Angraeng loe poek amro kaminawk khaeah anghnaih moe, dawnpakhuemhaih palungthin tawn kaminawk to pahlong.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
Katoeng kami loe raihaih paroeai tong langlacadoeh, to baktih hmuennawk boih thung hoiah Angraeng mah anih to pahlong.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
Anih ih ahuhnawk to pakuem pae boih pongah, maeto doeh angkhaek ai.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.
Toe sethaih sah kami mah kahoih ai kami to hum ueloe, katoeng kami hnuma kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih tong o tih.
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned.
Angraeng mah a tamnanawk to pahlong: angmah khaeah abuep kaminawk loe lokcaekhaih hnu o mak ai.
