第34篇
上帝的美善
大衛在亞比米勒面前裝瘋，被趕出去後，作了此詩。
1我要常常稱頌耶和華，
我的口時刻讚美祂。
2我因耶和華而誇耀，
困苦人聽見必歡欣。
3要跟我們一同尊耶和華為大，
讓我們一起尊崇祂的名！
4我求助耶和華，祂便應允我，
救我脫離一切恐懼。
5仰望祂的人都有榮光，
他們必不致滿面蒙羞。
6我這可憐的人向祂呼求，
祂就垂聽，
救我脫離一切困境。
7祂的天使在敬畏祂的人四圍安營，
要搭救他們。
8你們要親身體驗，
就知道耶和華的美善；
投靠祂的人有福了！
9耶和華的聖民啊，
你們要敬畏祂，
因為敬畏祂的人一無所缺。
10猛獅也會忍饑挨餓，
但尋求耶和華的人什麼福分都不缺。
11孩子們啊，來聽我說，
我要教導你們敬畏耶和華。
12若有人熱愛生命，
渴望長壽和幸福，
13就要舌頭不出惡言，
嘴唇不說詭詐的話。
14要棄惡行善，
竭力追求和睦。
15耶和華的眼睛看顧義人，
祂的耳朵垂聽他們的呼求。
16耶和華嚴懲作惡之人，
從世上剷除他們的名。
17義人向耶和華呼救，祂就垂聽，
拯救他們脫離一切患難。
18祂安慰悲痛欲絕的人，
拯救心靈破碎的人。
19義人遭遇許多患難，
但耶和華必從中救他，
20保全他一身的骨頭，
連一根也不折斷。
21惡人必遭惡報，
憎恨義人的必被定罪。
22耶和華必救贖祂的僕人，
投靠祂的人必不被定罪。
Psalm 34This psalm is an acrostic poem, the verses of which begin with the successive letters of the Hebrew alphabet.In Hebrew texts 34:1-22 is numbered 34:2-23.
Of David. When he pretended to be insane before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.
1I will extol the Lord at all times;
his praise will always be on my lips.
2I will glory in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.
3Glorify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
4I sought the Lord, and he answered me;
he delivered me from all my fears.
5Those who look to him are radiant;
their faces are never covered with shame.
6This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.
7The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.
8Taste and see that the Lord is good;
blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.
9Fear the Lord, you his holy people,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
10The lions may grow weak and hungry,
but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11Come, my children, listen to me;
I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12Whoever of you loves life
and desires to see many good days,
13keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from telling lies.
14Turn from evil and do good;
seek peace and pursue it.
15The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
and his ears are attentive to their cry;
16but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to blot out their name from the earth.
17The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears them;
he delivers them from all their troubles.
18The Lord is close to the brokenhearted
and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
19The righteous person may have many troubles,
but the Lord delivers him from them all;
20he protects all his bones,
not one of them will be broken.
21Evil will slay the wicked;
the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22The Lord will rescue his servants;
no one who takes refuge in him will be condemned.
