Ps 34

BBy David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always 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 boast in Yahweh. The humble shall hear of it and be glad. (MT 34:3; LXX 33:3; Rahlfs 33:3) אֲבָרֲכָ֣ה אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה בְּכָל־עֵ֑ת תָּ֝מִ֗יד תְּֽהִלָּת֥וֹ בְּפִֽי׃ 3Oh magnify Yahweh with me. Let’s exalt his name together. (MT 34:4; LXX 33:4; Rahlfs 33:4) בַּ֭יהוָה תִּתְהַלֵּ֣ל נַפְשִׁ֑י יִשְׁמְע֖וּ עֲנָוִ֣ים וְיִשְׂמָֽחוּ׃ 4I sought Yahweh, and he answered 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 to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame. (MT 34:6; LXX 33:6; Rahlfs 33:6) דָּרַ֣שְׁתִּי אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה וְעָנָ֑נִי וּמִכָּל־מְ֝גוּרוֹתַ֗י הִצִּילָֽנִי׃ 6This poor man cried, and Yahweh 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׃ 7Yahweh’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them. (MT 34:8; LXX 33:8; Rahlfs 33:8) זֶ֤ה עָנִ֣י קָ֭רָא וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗יו הוֹשִׁיעֽוֹ׃ 8Oh taste and see that Yahweh 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׃ 9Oh fear Yahweh, you his saints, for there is no lack with those who fear him. (MT 34:10; LXX 33:10; Rahlfs 33:10) טַעֲמ֣וּ וּ֭רְאוּ כִּי־ט֣וֹב יְהוָ֑ה אַֽשְׁרֵ֥י הַ֝גֶּ֗בֶר יֶחֱסֶה־בּֽוֹ׃ 10The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek Yahweh shall not lack any good thing. (MT 34:11; LXX 33:11; Rahlfs 33:11) יְר֣אוּ אֶת־יְהוָ֣ה קְדֹשָׁ֑יו כִּי־אֵ֥ין מַ֝חְס֗וֹר לִירֵאָֽיו׃ 11Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of Yahweh. (MT 34:12; LXX 33:12; Rahlfs 33:12) כְּ֭פִירִים רָשׁ֣וּ וְרָעֵ֑בוּ וְדֹרְשֵׁ֥י יְ֝הוָ֗ה לֹא־יַחְסְר֥וּ כָל־טֽוֹב׃ 12Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good? (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 speaking lies. (MT 34:14; LXX 33:14; Rahlfs 33:14) מִֽי־הָ֭אִישׁ הֶחָפֵ֣ץ חַיִּ֑ים אֹהֵ֥ב יָ֝מִ֗ים לִרְא֥וֹת טֽוֹב׃ 14Depart 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׃ 15Yahweh’s eyes are toward the righteous. His ears listen to their cry. (MT 34:16; LXX 33:16; Rahlfs 33:16) ס֣וּר מֵ֭רָע וַעֲשֵׂה־ט֑וֹב בַּקֵּ֖שׁ שָׁל֣וֹם וְרָדְפֵֽהוּ׃ 16Yahweh’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth. (MT 34:17; LXX 33:17; Rahlfs 33:17) עֵינֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה אֶל־צַדִּיקִ֑ים וְ֝אָזְנָ֗יו אֶל־שַׁוְעָתָֽם׃ 17The righteous cry, and Yahweh hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles. (MT 34:18; LXX 33:18; Rahlfs 33:18) פְּנֵ֣י יְ֭הוָה בְּעֹ֣שֵׂי רָ֑ע לְהַכְרִ֖ית מֵאֶ֣רֶץ זִכְרָֽם׃ 18Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. (MT 34:19; LXX 33:19; Rahlfs 33:19) צָעֲק֣וּ וַיהוָ֣ה שָׁמֵ֑עַ וּמִכָּל־צָ֝רוֹתָ֗ם הִצִּילָֽם׃ 19Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but Yahweh delivers him out of them all. (MT 34:20; LXX 33:20; Rahlfs 33:20) קָר֣וֹב יְ֭הוָה לְנִשְׁבְּרֵי־לֵ֑ב וְֽאֶת־דַּכְּאֵי־ר֥וּחַ יוֹשִֽׁיעַ׃ 20He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken. (MT 34:21; LXX 33:21; Rahlfs 33:21) רַ֭בּוֹת רָע֣וֹת צַדִּ֑יק וּ֝מִכֻּלָּ֗ם יַצִּילֶ֥נּוּ יְהוָֽה׃ 21Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned. (MT 34:22; LXX 33:22; Rahlfs 33:22) שֹׁמֵ֥ר כָּל־עַצְמוֹתָ֑יו אַחַ֥ת מֵ֝הֵ֗נָּה לֹ֣א נִשְׁבָּֽרָה׃ 22Yahweh redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned. (MT 34:23; LXX 33:23; Rahlfs 33:23) תְּמוֹתֵ֣ת רָשָׁ֣ע רָעָ֑ה וְשֹׂנְאֵ֖י צַדִּ֣יק יֶאְשָֽׁמוּ׃
