< Psalmorum 34 >

1 Davidi, cum immutavit vultum suum coram Achimelech, et dimisit eum et abiit. Benedicam Dominum in omni tempore: semper laus eius in ore meo.
[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.
2 In Domino laudabitur anima mea: audiant mansueti, et lætentur.
My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [of it] and be glad.
3 Magnificate Dominum mecum: et exaltemus nomen eius in idipsum.
O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 Exquisivi Dominum, et exaudivit me: et ex omnibus tribulationibus meis eripuit me.
I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Accedite ad eum, et illuminamini: et facies vestræ non confundentur.
They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 Iste pauper clamavit, et Dominus exaudivit eum: et de omnibus tribulationibus eius salvavit eum.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Immittet angelus Domini in circuitu timentium eum: et eripiet eos.
The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 Gustate, et videte quoniam suavis est Dominus: beatus vir, qui sperat in eo.
O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.
9 Timete Dominum omnes sancti eius: quoniam non est inopia timentibus eum.
O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.
10 Divites eguerunt et esurierunt: inquirentes autem Dominum non minuentur omni bono.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].
11 Venite filii, audite me: timorem Domini docebo vos.
Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Quis est homo qui vult vitam: diligit dies videre bonos?
What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?
13 Prohibe linguam tuam a malo: et labia tua ne loquantur dolum.
Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Diverte a malo, et fac bonum: inquire pacem, et persequere eam.
Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Oculi Domini super iustos: et aures eius in preces eorum.
The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their cry.
16 Vultus autem Domini super facientes mala: ut perdat de terra memoriam eorum.
The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 Clamaverunt iusti, et Dominus exaudivit eos: et ex omnibus tribulationibus eorum liberavit eos.
[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 Iuxta est Dominus iis, qui tribulato sunt corde: et humiles spiritu salvabit.
The LORD [is] nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.
19 Multæ tribulationes iustorum: et de omnibus his liberabit eos Dominus.
Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.
20 Custodit Dominus omnia ossa eorum: unum ex his non conteretur.
He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Mors peccatorum pessima: et qui oderunt iustum delinquent.
Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 Redimet Dominus animas servorum suorum: et non delinquent omnes qui sperant in eo.
The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
