Psalms 34
1 [A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behavior 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.
| לְדָוִ֗ד בְּשַׁנֹּותֹ֣ו אֶת־טַ֭עְמֹו לִפְנֵ֣י אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וֽ͏ַ֝יְגָרֲשֵׁ֗הוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ אֲבָרֲכָ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת תָּ֝מִ֗יד תְּֽהִלָּתֹ֥ו בְּפִֽי׃ |
2 My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [of it] and be glad.
| בַּ֭יהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל נַפְשִׁ֑י יִשְׁמְע֖וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ |
3 O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
| גַּדְּל֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה אִתִּ֑י וּנְרֹומְמָ֖ה שְׁמֹ֣ו יַחְדָּֽו׃ |
4 I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
| דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גוּרֹותַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ |
5 They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
| הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ |
6 This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
| זֶ֤ה עָנִ֣י קָ֭רָא וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רֹותָ֗יו הֹושִׁיעֹֽו׃ |
7 The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.
| חֹנֶ֤ה מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָ֓ה סָ֘בִ֤יב לִֽירֵאָ֗יו וַֽיְחַלְּצֵֽם׃ |
8 O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
| טַעֲמ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ כִּי־טֹ֣וב יְהוָ֑ה אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י הַ֝גֶּ֗בֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בֹּֽו׃ |
9 O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.
| יְר֣אוּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה קְדֹשָׁ֑יו כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַ֝חְסֹ֗ור לִירֵאָֽיו׃ |
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
| כְּ֭פִירִים רָשׁ֣וּ וְרָעֵ֑בוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹא־יַחְסְר֥וּ כָל־טֹֽוב׃ |
11 Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
| לְֽכוּ־בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִ֑י יִֽרְאַ֥ת יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶֽם׃ |
12 What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
| מִֽי־הָ֭אִישׁ הֶחָפֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים אֹהֵ֥ב יָ֝מִ֗ים לִרְאֹ֥ות טֹֽוב׃ |
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
| נְצֹ֣ר לְשֹׁונְךָ֣ מֵרָ֑ע וּ֝שְׂפָתֶ֗יךָ מִדַּבֵּ֥ר מִרְמָֽה׃ |
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
| ס֣וּר מֵ֭רָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טֹ֑וב בַּקֵּ֖שׁ שָׁלֹ֣ום וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ |
15 The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their cry.
| עֵינֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝אָזְנָ֗יו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ |
16 The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
| פְּנֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בְּעֹ֣שֵׂי רָ֑ע לְהַכְרִ֖ית מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ |
17 [The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
| צָעֲק֣וּ וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רֹותָ֗ם הִצִּילָֽם׃ |
18 The LORD [is] nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
| קָרֹ֣וב יְ֭הוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־ר֥וּחַ יֹושִֽׁיעַ׃ |
19 Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
| רַ֭בֹּות רָעֹ֣ות צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ |
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
| שֹׁמֵ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמֹותָ֑יו אַחַ֥ת מֵ֝הֵ֗נָּה לֹ֣א נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ |
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
| תְּמֹותֵ֣ת רָשָׁ֣ע רָעָ֑ה וְשֹׂנְאֵ֖י צַדִּ֣יק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃ |
22 The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
| פֹּודֶ֣ה יְ֭הוָה נֶ֣פֶשׁ עֲבָדָ֑יו וְלֹ֥א יֶ֝אְשְׁמ֗וּ כָּֽל־הַחֹסִ֥ים בֹּֽו׃ |
