Psalm 34
New King James Version
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.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I (C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (D)The [a]angel of the Lord (E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh, (F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 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.

大卫在亚比米勒面前装疯,被赶出去,就作这诗。
颂赞 神的美善(A)
34 我要时时称颂耶和华,
赞美他的话常在我口中。
2 我的心必因耶和华夸耀,
谦卑的人听见就喜乐。
3 你们要和我一同尊耶和华为大,
让我们一同高举他的名。
4 我曾寻求耶和华,他就应允我,
救我脱离一切的恐惧。
5 仰望他的人,就有光荣;
他们[a]的脸必不蒙羞。
6 这困苦人呼求,耶和华就垂听,
救他脱离一切的患难。
7 耶和华的使者在敬畏他的人四围安营,
要搭救他们。
8 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!
9 耶和华的圣民哪,你们当敬畏他,
因敬畏他的一无所缺。
10 少壮狮子尚且缺食忍饿,
但寻求耶和华的什么好处都不缺。
11 孩子们哪,来听我!
我要将敬畏耶和华的道教导你们。
12 有谁喜爱生命,
爱慕长寿,得享美福?
13 你要禁止舌头不出恶言,
嘴唇不说诡诈的话。

他的耳朵听他们的呼求。

要从地上除灭他们的名字[b]。
17 义人呼求,耶和华听见了,
就拯救他们脱离一切患难。
18 耶和华靠近伤心的人,
拯救心灵痛悔的人。
19 义人多有苦难,
但耶和华救他脱离这一切,
20 又保护他全身的骨头,
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性命,
凡投靠他的,必不致定罪。
