A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour 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. (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 shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. (MT 34:3; LXX 33:3; Rahlfs 33:3)
אֲבָרֲכָ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת תָּ֝מִ֗יד תְּֽהִלָּת֥וֹ בְּפִֽי׃
3O magnify the Lord with me, and 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 heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. (MT 34:5; LXX 33:5; Rahlfs 33:5)
גַּדְּל֣וּ לַיהוָ֣ה אִתִּ֑י וּנְרוֹמְמָ֖ה שְׁמ֣וֹ יַחְדָּֽו׃
5They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed. (MT 34:6; LXX 33:6; Rahlfs 33:6)
דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גוּרוֹתַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃
6This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. (MT 34:7; LXX 33:7; Rahlfs 33:7)
הִבִּ֣יטוּ אֵלָ֣יו וְנָהָ֑רוּ וּ֝פְנֵיהֶ֗ם אַל־יֶחְפָּֽרוּ׃
7The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. (MT 34:8; LXX 33:8; Rahlfs 33:8)
