Ps 34

OOf David, when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, so that the king drove him away. I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise will always be on my lips. (MT 34:2; LXX 33:1; LXX 33:2; Rahlfs 33:1; Rahlfs 33:2) לְדָוִ֗ד בְּשַׁנּוֹת֣וֹ אֶת־טַ֭עְמוֹ לִפְנֵ֣י אֲבִימֶ֑לֶךְ וַֽ֝יְגָרֲשֵׁ֗הוּ וַיֵּלַֽךְ׃ 2My soul boasts in the Lord; let the oppressed hear and rejoice. (MT 34:3; LXX 33:3; Rahlfs 33:3) אֲבָרֲכָ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת תָּ֝מִ֗יד תְּֽהִלָּת֥וֹ בְּפִֽי׃ 3Magnify the Lord with me; let us exalt His name together. (MT 34:4; LXX 33:4; Rahlfs 33:4) בַּ֭יהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל נַפְשִׁ֑י יִשְׁמְע֖וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ 4I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears. (MT 34:5; LXX 33:5; Rahlfs 33:5) גַּדְּל֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה אִתִּ֑י וּנְרוֹמְמָ֖ה שְׁמ֣וֹ יַחְדָּֽו׃ 5Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed. (MT 34:6; LXX 33:6; Rahlfs 33:6) דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גוּרוֹתַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ 6This poor man called out, and the Lord heard him; He saved him from all his troubles. (MT 34:7; LXX 33:7; Rahlfs 33:7) הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃ 7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them. (MT 34:8; LXX 33:8; Rahlfs 33:8) זֶ֤ה עָנִ֣י קָ֭רָא וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗יו הוֹשִׁיעֽוֹ׃ 8Taste and see that the Lord is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him! (MT 34:9; LXX 33:9; Rahlfs 33:9) חֹנֶ֤ה מַלְאַךְ־יְהוָ֓ה סָ֘בִ֤יב לִֽירֵאָ֗יו וַֽיְחַלְּצֵֽם׃ 9Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing. (MT 34:10; LXX 33:10; Rahlfs 33:10) טַעֲמ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ כִּי־ט֣וֹב יְהוָ֑ה אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י הַ֝גֶּ֗בֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ 10Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing. (MT 34:11; LXX 33:11; Rahlfs 33:11) יְר֣אוּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה קְדֹשָׁ֑יו כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַ֝חְס֗וֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃ 11Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. (MT 34:12; LXX 33:12; Rahlfs 33:12) כְּ֭פִירִים רָשׁ֣וּ וְרָעֵ֑בוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹא־יַחְסְר֥וּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ 12Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days? (MT 34:13; LXX 33:13; Rahlfs 33:13) לְֽכוּ־בָ֭נִים שִׁמְעוּ־לִ֑י יִֽרְאַ֥ת יְ֝הוָ֗ה אֲלַמֶּדְכֶֽם׃ 13Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech. (MT 34:14; LXX 33:14; Rahlfs 33:14) מִֽי־הָ֭אִישׁ הֶחָפֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים אֹהֵ֥ב יָ֝מִ֗ים לִרְא֥וֹת טֽוֹב׃ 14Turn away from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. (MT 34:15; LXX 33:15; Rahlfs 33:15) נְצֹ֣ר לְשׁוֹנְךָ֣ מֵרָ֑ע וּ֝שְׂפָתֶ֗יךָ מִדַּבֵּ֥ר מִרְמָֽה׃ 15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are inclined to their cry. (MT 34:16; LXX 33:16; Rahlfs 33:16) ס֣וּר מֵ֭רָע וַעֲשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב בַּקֵּ֖שׁ שָׁל֣וֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ 16But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil, to wipe out all memory of them from the earth. (MT 34:17; LXX 33:17; Rahlfs 33:17) עֵינֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝אָזְנָ֗יו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ 17The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears; He delivers them from all their troubles. (MT 34:18; LXX 33:18; Rahlfs 33:18) פְּנֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בְּעֹ֣שֵׂי רָ֑ע לְהַכְרִ֖ית מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ 18The Lord is near to the brokenhearted; He saves the contrite in spirit. (MT 34:19; LXX 33:19; Rahlfs 33:19) צָעֲק֣וּ וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗ם הִצִּילָֽם׃ 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him from them all. (MT 34:20; LXX 33:20; Rahlfs 33:20) קָר֣וֹב יְ֭הוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־ר֥וּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 20He protects all his bones; not one of them will be broken. (MT 34:21; LXX 33:21; Rahlfs 33:21) רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ 21Evil will slay the wicked, and the haters of the righteous will be condemned. (MT 34:22; LXX 33:22; Rahlfs 33:22) שֹׁמֵ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑יו אַחַ֥ת מֵ֝הֵ֗נָּה לֹ֣א נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ 22The Lord redeems His servants, and none who take refuge in Him will be condemned. (MT 34:23; LXX 33:23; Rahlfs 33:23) תְּמוֹתֵ֣ת רָשָׁ֣ע רָעָ֑ה וְשֹׂנְאֵ֖י צַדִּ֣יק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃
