< תהילים 34 >

לְדָוִד בְּשַׁנּוֹתוֹ אֶת־טַעְמוֹ לִפְנֵי אֲבִימֶלֶךְ וֽ͏ַיְגָרֲשֵׁהוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ אֲבָרֲכָה אֶת־יְהוָה בְּכָל־עֵת תָּמִיד תְּֽהִלָּתוֹ בְּפִֽי׃ 1
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
בַּיהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּל נַפְשִׁי יִשְׁמְעוּ עֲנָוִים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ 2
My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
גַּדְּלוּ לַיהוָה אִתִּי וּנְרוֹמְמָה שְׁמוֹ יַחְדָּֽו׃ 3
Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let’s exalt his name together.
דָּרַשְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָה וְעָנָנִי וּמִכָּל־מְגוּרוֹתַי הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ 4
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
הִבִּיטוּ אֵלָיו וְנָהָרוּ וּפְנֵיהֶם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ 5
They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
זֶה עָנִי קָרָא וַיהוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל־צָרוֹתָיו הוֹשִׁיעֽוֹ׃ 6
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
חֹנֶה מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָה סָבִיב לִֽירֵאָיו וַֽיְחַלְּצֵֽם׃ 7
The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
טַעֲמוּ וּרְאוּ כִּי־טוֹב יְהוָה אַֽשְׁרֵי הַגֶּבֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ 8
Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
יְראוּ אֶת־יְהוָה קְדֹשָׁיו כִּי־אֵין מַחְסוֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃ 9
Oh fear the LORD, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
כְּפִירִים רָשׁוּ וְרָעֵבוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁי יְהוָה לֹא־יַחְסְרוּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ 10
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
לְֽכוּ־בָנִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִי יִֽרְאַת יְהוָה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶֽם׃ 11
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
מִֽי־הָאִישׁ הֶחָפֵץ חַיִּים אֹהֵב יָמִים לִרְאוֹת טֽוֹב׃ 12
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
נְצֹר לְשׁוֹנְךָ מֵרָע וּשְׂפָתֶיךָ מִדַּבֵּר מִרְמָֽה׃ 13
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה־טוֹב בַּקֵּשׁ שָׁלוֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ 14
Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
עֵינֵי יְהוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִים וְאָזְנָיו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ 15
The LORD’s eyes are towards the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
פְּנֵי יְהוָה בְּעֹשֵׂי רָע לְהַכְרִית מֵאֶרֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ 16
The LORD’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
צָעֲקוּ וַיהוָה שָׁמֵעַ וּמִכָּל־צָרוֹתָם הִצִּילָֽם׃ 17
The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
קָרוֹב יְהוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־רוּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 18
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
רַבּוֹת רָעוֹת צַדִּיק וּמִכֻּלָּם יַצִּילֶנּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ 19
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
שֹׁמֵר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָיו אַחַת מֵהֵנָּה לֹא נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ 20
He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
תְּמוֹתֵת רָשָׁע רָעָה וְשֹׂנְאֵי צַדִּיק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃ 21
Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
פּוֹדֶה יְהוָה נֶפֶשׁ עֲבָדָיו וְלֹא יֶאְשְׁמוּ כָּֽל־הַחֹסִים בּֽוֹ׃ 22
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
