颂赞耶和华之救恩

34 大卫亚比米勒面前装疯,被他赶出去,就作这诗。

我要时时称颂耶和华,赞美他的话必常在我口中。
我的心必因耶和华夸耀,谦卑人听见,就要喜乐。
你们和我当称耶和华为大,一同高举他的名。
我曾寻求耶和华,他就应允我,救我脱离了一切的恐惧。
凡仰望他的便有光荣,他们的脸必不蒙羞。
我这困苦人呼求,耶和华便垂听,救我脱离一切患难。
耶和华的使者在敬畏他的人四围安营,搭救他们。

投靠主者乃为有福

你们要尝尝主恩的滋味,便知道他是美善。投靠他的人有福了!

耶和华的圣民哪,你们当敬畏他,因敬畏他的一无所缺。
10 少壮狮子还缺食忍饿,但寻求耶和华的,什么好处都不缺。
11 众弟子啊,你们当来听我的话,我要将敬畏耶和华的道教训你们。
12 有何人喜好存活,爱慕长寿,得享美福,
13 就要禁止舌头不出恶言,嘴唇不说诡诈的话。
14 要离恶行善,寻求和睦,一心追赶。
15 耶和华的眼目看顾义人,他的耳朵听他们的呼求。
16 耶和华向行恶的人变脸,要从世上除灭他们的名号。
17 义人呼求,耶和华听见了,便救他们脱离一切患难。
18 耶和华靠近伤心的人,拯救灵性痛悔的人。
19 义人多有苦难,但耶和华救他脱离这一切,
20 又保全他一身的骨头,连一根也不折断。
21 恶必害死恶人,恨恶义人的必被定罪。
22 耶和华救赎他仆人的灵魂,凡投靠他的必不致定罪。

Psalm 34[a]

Thanksgiving to God Who Delivers the Just

Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech,[b] who drove him out and he went away.

I

I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise shall be always in my mouth.(A)
My soul will glory in the Lord;
    let the poor hear and be glad.
Magnify the Lord with me;
    and let us exalt his name together.

II

I sought the Lord, and he answered me,
    delivered me from all my fears.
Look to him and be radiant,
    and your faces may not blush for shame.
This poor one cried out and the Lord heard,
    and from all his distress he saved him.
The angel of the Lord encamps
    around those who fear him, and he saves them.(B)
Taste and see that the Lord is good;
    blessed is the stalwart one who takes refuge in him.(C)
10 Fear the Lord, you his holy ones;
    nothing is lacking to those who fear him.(D)
11 The rich grow poor and go hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.

III

12 Come, children,[c] listen to me;(E)
    I will teach you fear of the Lord.
13 Who is the man who delights in life,(F)
    who loves to see the good days?
14 Keep your tongue from evil,
    your lips from speaking lies.
15 Turn from evil and do good;(G)
    seek peace and pursue it.
16 The eyes of the Lord are directed toward the righteous(H)
    and his ears toward their cry.
17 The Lord’s face is against evildoers
    to wipe out their memory from the earth.
18 The righteous cry out, the Lord hears
    and he rescues them from all their afflictions.
19 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
    saves those whose spirit is crushed.
20 Many are the troubles of the righteous,
    but the Lord delivers him from them all.
21 He watches over all his bones;
    not one of them shall be broken.(I)
22 Evil will slay the wicked;
    those who hate the righteous are condemned.
23 The Lord is the redeemer of the souls of his servants;
    and none are condemned who take refuge in him.

Footnotes

  1. Psalm 34 A thanksgiving in acrostic form, each line beginning with a successive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In this Psalm one letter is missing and two are in reverse order. The psalmist, fresh from the experience of being rescued (Ps 34:5, 7), can teach the “poor,” those who are defenseless, to trust in God alone (Ps 34:4, 12). God will make them powerful (Ps 34:5–11) and give them protection (Ps 34:12–22).
  2. 34:1 Abimelech: a scribal error for Achish. In 1 Sm 21:13–16, David feigned madness before Achish, not Abimelech.
  3. 34:12 Children: the customary term for students in wisdom literature.

The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God

A Psalm of David (A)when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.

34 I will (B)bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.

I (C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
(D)The [a]angel of the Lord (E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.

Oh, (F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no [b]want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
(H)But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.

11 Come, you children, listen to me;
(I)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 (J)Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking (K)deceit.
14 (L)Depart from evil and do good;
(M)Seek peace and pursue it.

15 (N)The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 (O)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
(P)To [c]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and (Q)the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 (R)The Lord is near (S)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [d]have a contrite spirit.

19 (T)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(U)But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
(V)Not one of them is broken.
21 (W)Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be [e]condemned.
22 The Lord (X)redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.
