Psalms 34
1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless Jehovah at all times, Continually His praise [is] 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 In Jehovah doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπαινεσθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν
3 Ascribe ye greatness to Jehovah with me, And we exalt His name together.
μεγαλύνατε τὸν κύριον σὺν ἐμοί καὶ ὑψώσωμεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
4 I sought Jehovah, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
ἐξεζήτησα τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐπήκουσέν μου καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν παροικιῶν μου ἐρρύσατό με
5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
προσέλθατε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ φωτίσθητε καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ
6 This poor [one] called, and Jehovah heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
οὗτος ὁ πτωχὸς ἐκέκραξεν καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ ἔσωσεν αὐτόν
7 A messenger of Jehovah is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
παρεμβαλεῖ ἄγγελος κυρίου κύκλῳ τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτούς
8 Taste ye and see that Jehovah [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
γεύσασθε καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς ἐλπίζει ἐπ’ αὐτόν
9 Fear Jehovah, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
φοβήθητε τὸν κύριον οἱ ἅγιοι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστέρημα τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν
10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking Jehovah lack not any good,
πλούσιοι ἐπτώχευσαν καὶ ἐπείνασαν οἱ δὲ ἐκζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσονται παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ διάψαλμα
11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of Jehovah I do teach you.
δεῦτε τέκνα ἀκούσατέ μου φόβον κυρίου διδάξω ὑμᾶς
12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπῶν ἡμέρας ἰδεῖν ἀγαθάς
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
παῦσον τὴν γλῶσσάν σου ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη σου τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον
14 Turn aside 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 Jehovah [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν
16 (The face of Jehovah [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακὰ τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν
17 They cried, and Jehovah heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
ἐκέκραξαν οἱ δίκαιοι καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτῶν ἐρρύσατο αὐτούς
18 Near [is] Jehovah to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
ἐγγὺς κύριος τοῖς συντετριμμένοις τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τῷ πνεύματι σώσει
19 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth Jehovah deliver him.
πολλαὶ αἱ θλίψεις τῶν δικαίων καὶ ἐκ πασῶν αὐτῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς
20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
κύριος φυλάσσει πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ συντριβήσεται
21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
θάνατος ἁμαρτωλῶν πονηρός καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες τὸν δίκαιον πλημμελήσουσιν
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!
λυτρώσεται κύριος ψυχὰς δούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ πλημμελήσωσιν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ’ αὐτόν
