תהילים 34

1 לְדָוִד בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת־טַעְמוֹ לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וֽ͏ַיְגָרֲשֵׁהוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת־יְהוָה בְּכָל־עֵת תָּמִיד תְּֽהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִֽי׃

I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.

2 בַּיהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃

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

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

5 הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ וּפְנֵיהֶם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃

They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

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

9 יְראוּ אֶת־יְהוָה קְדֹשָׁיו כִּי־אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃

O fear the LORD, all of you his saints: for there is no lack to them that fear him.

10 כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵבוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁי יְהוָה לֹא־יַחְסְרוּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃

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

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

12 מִֽי־הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים אֹהֵב יָמִים לִרְאוֹת טֽוֹב׃

What man is he that desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?

13 נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנְךָ מֵרָע וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָֽה׃

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking guile.

14 סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃

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

15 עֵינֵי יְהוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִים וְאָזְנָיו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃

The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

16 פְּנֵי יְהוָה בְּעֹשֵׂי רָע לְהַכְרִית מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃

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

The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.

18 קָרוֹב יְהוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־רוּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saves such as be of a contrite spirit.

19 רַבּוֹת רָעוֹת צַדִּיק וּמִכֻּלָּם יַצִּילֶנּוּ יְהוָֽה׃

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

20 שֹׁמֵר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָיו אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה לֹא נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃

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

21 תְּמוֹתֵת רָשָׁע רָעָה וְשֹׂנְאֵי צַדִּיק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃

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

22 פּוֹדֶה יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ עֲבָדָיו וְלֹא יֶאְשְׁמוּ כָּֽל־הַחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃

The LORD redeems the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
