Salmos 34
1 Louvarei ao Senhor em todo o tempo: o seu louvor estará continuamente na minha boca.
Of David. When he made a change in his behaviour before Abimelech, who sent him away, and he went. I will be blessing the Lord at all times; his praise will be ever in my mouth.
2 A minha alma se glóriará no Senhor: os mansos o ouvirão e se alegrarão.
My soul will say great things of the Lord: the poor in spirit will have knowledge of it and be glad.
3 Engrandecei ao Senhor comigo; e juntos exaltemos o seu nome.
O give praise to the Lord with me; let us be witnesses together of his great name.
4 Busquei ao Senhor, e ele me respondeu: livrou-me de todos os meus temores.
I was searching for the Lord, and he gave ear to my voice, and made me free from all my fears.
5 Olharam para ele, e foram iluminados; e os seus rostos não ficaram confundidos.
Let your eyes be turned to him and you will have light, and your faces will not be shamed.
6 Clamou este pobre, e o Senhor o ouviu, e o salvou de todas as suas angústias.
This poor man's cry came before the Lord, and he gave him salvation from all his troubles.
7 O anjo do Senhor acampa-se em redor dos que o temem, e os livra.
The angel of the Lord is ever watching over those who have fear of him, to keep them safe.
8 Provai, e vede que o Senhor é bom; bem-aventurado o homem que nele confia.
By experience you will see that the Lord is good; happy is the man who has faith in him.
9 Temei ao Senhor, vós, os seus santos, pois não tem falta alguma aqueles que o temem.
Keep yourselves in the fear of the Lord, all you his saints; for those who do so will have no need of anything.
10 Os filhos dos leões necessitam e sofrem fome, mas aqueles que temem ao Senhor não tem falta de coisa alguma.
The young lions are in need and have no food; but those who are looking to the Lord will have every good thing.
11 Vinde, meninos, ouvi-me: eu vos ensinarei o temor do Senhor.
Come, children, give attention to me; I will be your teacher in the fear of the Lord.
12 Quem é o homem que deseja a vida, que quer largos dias para ver o bem?
What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?
13 Guarda a tua língua do mal, e os teus lábios de falarem o engano.
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from words of deceit.
14 Aparta-te do mal, e faze o bem: procura a paz, e segue-a.
Be turned from evil, and do good; make a search for peace, desiring it with all your heart.
15 Os olhos do Senhor estão sobre os justos, e os seus ouvidos atentos ao seu clamor.
The eyes of the Lord are on the upright, and his ears are open to their cry.
16 A face do Senhor está contra os que fazem o mal, para desarreigar da terra a memória deles.

17 Os justos clamam, e o Senhor os ouve, e os livra de todas as suas angústias.
The cry of the upright comes before the Lord, and he takes them out of all their troubles.
18 Perto está o Senhor dos que tem o coração quebrantado, e salva os contritos de espírito.
The Lord is near the broken-hearted; he is the saviour of those whose spirits are crushed down.
19 Muitas são as aflições do justo, mas o Senhor o livra de todas.
Great are the troubles of the upright: but the Lord takes him safely out of them all.
20 Ele lhe guarda todos os seus ossos; nem sequer um deles se quebra.
He keeps all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 A malícia matará o ímpio, e os que aborrecem o justo serão desolados.
Evil will put an end to the sinner, and those who are haters of righteousness will come to destruction.
22 O Senhor resgata a alma dos seus servos, e nenhum dos que nele confiam será desolado.
The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
