Learning about God’s Deliverance

34 [b]I will bless the Lord at all times;
    his praise will be in my mouth continuously.
My soul will glorify the Lord;
    the humble will hear about it and rejoice.
Magnify the Lord with me!
Let us lift up his name together!

I sought the Lord and he answered me;
    he delivered me from all of my fears.
Look to him and be radiant;
    and you[c] will not be ashamed.

This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard
    and delivered him from all of his distress.
The angel of the Lord surrounds those who fear him,
    and he delivers them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good!
    How blessed is the person who trusts in him!
Fear the Lord, you holy ones of his;
    for those who fear him lack nothing.
10 Young lions lack and go hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord will never lack any good thing.

11 Come, children, listen to me,
    and I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 Who among you[d] desires life,
    and wants long life in order to see good?
13 Then keep your tongue from doing evil
    and your lips from spreading lies.
14 Avoid evil and do good!
    Seek peace and pursue it!

15 The[e] Lord looks on the righteous,
    and he listens to their cries.
16 The face of the Lord is set against those who do evil,
    and he will remove people’s recollection of them from the earth.

17 The Lord hears those who cry out,
    and he delivers them from all their distress.
18 The Lord is close to the brokenhearted,
    and he delivers those whose spirit has been crushed.
19 A righteous person will have many troubles,
    but the Lord will deliver him from them all.
20 God[f] protects all his bones;
    not one of them will be broken.

21 Evil will kill the wicked;
    those who hate the righteous will be held guilty.
22 The Lord redeems the lives of his servants;
    and none of those who trust in him will be held guilty.

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。

我的心要因耶和華誇耀,

困苦的人聽見了就喜樂。

你們要跟我一起尊耶和華為大,

我們來一同高舉他的名。

我曾求問耶和華,他應允了我,

救我脫離一切恐懼。

人仰望他,就有光彩,

他們的臉必不蒙羞。

我這困苦人呼求,耶和華就垂聽,

拯救我脫離一切患難。

耶和華的使者,在敬畏他的人周圍紮營,

搭救他們。

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。

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。
