诗篇 34
Chinese Contemporary Bible (Simplified)
上帝的美善
大卫在亚比米勒面前装疯，被赶出去后，作了此诗。
34 我要常常称颂耶和华，
时刻赞美祂。
2 我要夸耀祂的作为，
困苦人听见必欢欣。
3 让我们一同颂赞祂的伟大，
尊崇祂的名！
4 我向祂祷告，祂便应允我，
救我脱离一切恐惧。
5 凡仰望祂的必有荣光，
不致蒙羞。
6 我这可怜的人向祂呼求，
祂就垂听，
救我脱离一切困境。
7 祂的天使必四面保护敬畏祂的人，拯救他们。
8 你们要亲身体验，
就知道耶和华的美善；
投靠祂的人有福了！
9 耶和华的圣民啊，
你们要敬畏祂，
因为敬畏祂的人一无所缺。
10 壮狮也会忍饥挨饿，
但寻求耶和华的人什么福分都不缺。
11 孩子们啊，听我说，
我要教导你们敬畏耶和华。
12 若有人热爱生命，
渴望长寿和幸福，
13 就要舌头不出恶言，
嘴唇不说诡诈的话。
14 要弃恶行善，
竭力追求和睦。
15 耶和华的眼睛看顾义人，
祂的耳朵垂听他们的呼求。
16 耶和华严惩作恶之人，
从世上铲除他们。
17 义人向耶和华呼救，祂就垂听，
拯救他们脱离一切患难。
18 祂安慰悲痛欲绝的人，
拯救心灵破碎的人。
19 义人也会遭遇许多患难，
但耶和华必拯救他，
20 保全他一身的骨头，
连一根也不折断。
21 恶人必遭恶报，
与义人为敌的必被定罪。
22 耶和华必救赎祂的仆人，
投靠祂的人必不被定罪。
Psalm 34
Common English Bible
Psalm 34[a]
Of David, when he pretended to be crazy before Abimelech, who banished him so that he left.
34 I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be in my mouth.
2 I[b] praise the Lord—
let the suffering listen and rejoice.
3 Magnify the Lord with me!
Together let us lift his name up high!
4 I sought the Lord and he answered me.
He delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to God will shine;
their faces are never ashamed.
6 This suffering person cried out:
the Lord listened and saved him from every trouble.
7 On every side, the Lord’s messenger protects those who honor God; and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see how good the Lord is!
The one who takes refuge in him is truly happy!
9 You who are the Lord’s holy ones, honor him,
because those who honor him don’t lack a thing.
10 Even strong young lions go without and get hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 Come, children, listen to me.
Let me teach you how to honor the Lord:
12 Do you love life;
do you relish the chance to enjoy good things?
13 Then you must keep your tongue from evil
and keep your lips from speaking lies!
14 Turn away from evil! Do good!
Seek peace and go after it!
15 The Lord’s eyes watch the righteous,
his ears listen to their cries for help.
16 But the Lord’s face is set against those who do evil,
to eliminate even the memory of them from the earth.
17 When the righteous cry out, the Lord listens;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted;
he saves those whose spirits are crushed.
19 The righteous have many problems,
but the Lord delivers them from every one.
20 He protects all their bones;
not even one will be broken.
21 But just one problem will kill the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be held responsible.
22 The Lord saves his servants’ lives;
all those who take refuge in him
won’t be held responsible for anything.

Psalm 34
Contemporary English Version
(Written by David when he pretended to be crazy in front of Abimelech, so that Abimelech would send him away, and David could leave.)
Honor the Lord
1 (A) I will always praise the Lord.
2 With all my heart,
I will praise the Lord.
Let all who are helpless,
listen and be glad.
3 Honor the Lord with me!
Celebrate his great name.
4 I asked the Lord for help,
and he saved me
from all my fears.
5 Keep your eyes on the Lord!
You will shine like the sun
and never blush with shame.
6 I was a nobody, but I prayed,
and the Lord saved me
from all my troubles.
7 If you honor the Lord,
his angel will protect you.
8 (B) Discover for yourself
that the Lord is kind.
Come to him for protection,
and you will be glad.
9 Honor the Lord!
You are his special people.
No one who honors the Lord
will ever be in need.
10 Young lions[a] may go hungry
or even starve,
but if you trust the Lord,
you will never miss out
on anything good.
11 Come, my children, listen
as I teach you
to respect the Lord.
12 (C) Do you want to live
and enjoy a long life?
13 Then don't say cruel things
and don't tell lies.
14 Do good instead of evil
and try to live at peace.
15 If you obey the Lord,
he will watch over you
and answer your prayers.
16 But God despises evil people,
and he will wipe them all
from the earth,
till they are forgotten.
17 When his people pray for help,
he listens and rescues them
from their troubles.
18 The Lord is there to rescue
all
who are discouraged
and have given up hope.
19 The Lord's people
may suffer a lot,
but he will always
bring them safely through.
20 (D) Not one of their bones
will ever be broken.
21 Wicked people are killed
by their own evil deeds,
and if you hate God's people
you will be punished.
22 The Lord saves the lives
of his servants.
Run to him for protection,
and you won't be punished.
