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.

大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋，被他趕出去，就作這詩。 我要時時稱頌耶和華； 讚美他的話必常在我口中。

2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the meek shall hear thereof, and be glad.

我的心必因耶和華誇耀； 謙卑人聽見就要喜樂。

3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

你們和我當稱耶和華為大， 一同高舉他的名。

4 I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

我曾尋求耶和華，他就應允我， 救我脫離了一切的恐懼。

5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces shall never be confounded.

凡仰望他的，便有光榮； 他們的臉必不蒙羞。

6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.

我這困苦人呼求，耶和華便垂聽， 救我脫離一切患難。

7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

耶和華的使者在敬畏他的人四圍安營， 搭救他們。

8 O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.

你們要嘗嘗主恩的滋味，便知道他是美善； 投靠他的人有福了！

9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.

耶和華的聖民哪，你們當敬畏他， 因敬畏他的一無所缺。

10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good thing.

少壯獅子還缺食忍餓， 但尋求耶和華的甚麼好處都不缺。

11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

眾弟子啊，你們當來聽我的話！ 我要將敬畏耶和華的道教訓你們。

12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth [many] days, that he may see good?

有何人喜好存活， 愛慕長壽，得享美福，

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

就要禁止舌頭不出惡言， 嘴唇不說詭詐的話。

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

要離惡行善， 尋求和睦，一心追趕。

15 The eyes of the LORD are toward the righteous, and his ears are [open] unto their cry.

耶和華的眼目看顧義人； 他的耳朵聽他們的呼求。

16 The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

耶和華向行惡的人變臉， 要從世上除滅他們的名號。

17 [The righteous] cried, and the LORD heard, and delivered them out of all their troubles.

義人呼求，耶和華聽見了， 便救他們脫離一切患難。

18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart, and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

耶和華靠近傷心的人， 拯救靈性痛悔的人。

19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

義人多有苦難， 但耶和華救他脫離這一切，

20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

又保全他一身的骨頭， 連一根也不折斷。

21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be condemned.

惡必害死惡人； 恨惡義人的，必被定罪。

22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be condemned.

耶和華救贖他僕人的靈魂； 凡投靠他的，必不致定罪。
