Psalm 34
New International Version
Psalm 34[a][b]
Of David. When he pretended to be insane(A) before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;(B)
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory(C) in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.(D)
3 Glorify the Lord(E) with me;
let us exalt(F) his name together.
4 I sought the Lord,(G) and he answered me;
he delivered(H) me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;(I)
their faces are never covered with shame.(J)
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.(K)
7 The angel of the Lord(L) encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers(M) them.
8 Taste and see that the Lord is good;(N)
blessed is the one who takes refuge(O) in him.
9 Fear the Lord,(P) you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.(Q)
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.(R)
11 Come, my children, listen(S) to me;
I will teach you(T) the fear of the Lord.(U)
12 Whoever of you loves life(V)
and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue(W) from evil
and your lips from telling lies.(X)
14 Turn from evil and do good;(Y)
seek peace(Z) and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord(AA) are on the righteous,(AB)
and his ears are attentive(AC) to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against(AD) those who do evil,(AE)
to blot out their name(AF) from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears(AG) them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close(AH) to the brokenhearted(AI)
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

2 Moyo wanga udzanyadira Yehova;

3 Lemekezani Yehova pamodzi ndi ine;

4 Ine ndinafunafuna Yehova ndipo Iye anandiyankha;

nkhope zawo sizikhala zophimbidwa ndi manyazi.
6 Munthu wosauka uno anayitana, ndipo Yehova anamumva;

12 Aliyense wa inu amene amakonda moyo wake

14 Tembenuka kuchoka ku zoyipa ndipo chita zabwino;

18 Yehova ali pafupi kwa osweka mtima
ndipo amapulumutsa iwo amene asweka mu mzimu.
19 Munthu wolungama atha kukhala ndi mavuto ambiri,
Koma Yehova amamulanditsa ku mavuto onsewo,
20 Iye amateteza mafupa ake onse,
palibe limodzi la mafupawo limene lidzathyoledwa.
21 Choyipa chidzapha anthu oyipa;

22 Yehova amawombola atumiki ake;
aliyense amene amathawira kwa Iye sadzapezeka wolakwa.
