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.

诗篇 34
Chinese New Version (Traditional)
敬畏 神的必一無所缺
大衛的詩，是他在亞比米勒面前裝瘋，被驅逐離去時作的。
34 我要時常稱頌耶和華，
讚美他的話必常在我口中。
2 我的心要因耶和華誇耀，
困苦的人聽見了就喜樂。
3 你們要跟我一起尊耶和華為大，
我們來一同高舉他的名。
4 我曾求問耶和華，他應允了我，
救我脫離一切恐懼。
5 人仰望他，就有光彩，
他們的臉必不蒙羞。
6 我這困苦人呼求，耶和華就垂聽，
拯救我脫離一切患難。
7 耶和華的使者，在敬畏他的人周圍紮營，
搭救他們。
8 你們要親自體驗，就知道耶和華是美善的；
投靠他的人，都是有福的。
9 耶和華的聖民哪！你們要敬畏他，
因為敬畏他的一無所缺。
10 少壯獅子有時還缺食挨餓，
但尋求耶和華的，甚麼好處都不缺。
11 孩子們！你們要來聽我；
我要教導你們敬畏耶和華。
12 誰喜愛生命，
愛慕長壽，享受美福，
13 就應謹守舌頭，不出惡言，
嘴唇不說欺詐的話。
14 也要離惡行善，
尋找並追求和睦。
15 耶和華的眼睛看顧義人，
他的耳朵垂聽他們的呼求。
16 耶和華的臉敵對作惡的人，
要把他們的名從世上除掉。
17 義人哀求，耶和華就垂聽，
搭救他們脫離一切患難，
18 耶和華親近心中破碎的人，
拯救靈裡痛悔的人，
19 義人雖有許多苦難，
但耶和華搭救他脫離這一切。
20 耶和華保全他一身的骨頭，
連一根也不容折斷。
21 惡人必被惡害死；
憎恨義人的，必被定罪。
22 耶和華救贖他僕人的性命；
凡是投靠他的，必不被定罪。
