詩篇 34

1 【頌上主保佑之恩】 達味在阿彼默勒客前佯狂，被逐逃走時作。 我要時時讚美上主，我要常時讚頌上主；

[A Psalm] of David, when he changed his behavior before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth.

2 我的心靈因上主而自豪，願謙卑的人聽到也都喜躍。

My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear [of it] and be glad.

3 請你們同我一起讚揚上主，讓我們齊聲頌揚上主的名。

O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together.

4 我尋求了上主，祂聽了我的訴求：由我受的一切驚惶中，將我救出。

I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.

5 你們瞻仰祂，要喜形於色，你們的面容，絕不會羞愧。

They looked to him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.

6 卑微人一呼號，上主立即俯允，上主必救他脫離一切苦辛。

This poor man cried, and the LORD heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

7 在那敬愛上主的人四周，有上主的天使紮營護守。

The angel of the LORD encampeth around them that fear him, and delivereth them.

8 請你們體驗，請你們觀看：上主是何等的和藹慈善！投奔上主的必獲真福永歡。

O taste and see that the LORD [is] good: blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him.

9 上主的聖民應該敬愛上主，敬愛祂的人不會受到窮苦。

O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for [there is] no want to them that fear him.

10 富貴的人竟成了赤貧，忍飢受餓，尋求上主的人，卻不缺任何福樂。

The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not want any good [thing].

11 孩子們，你們來聽我指教，我要教你們敬愛上主之道。

Come, ye children, hearken to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

12 誰是愛好長久生活的人？誰是渴望長壽享福的人？

What man [is he that] desireth life, [and] loveth [many] days, that he may see good?

13 就應謹守口舌，不說壞話，克制嘴唇，不言欺詐；

Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.

14 躲避罪惡，努力行善，尋求和平，追隨陪伴。

Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.

15 因為上主的雙目垂顧正義的人，上主的兩耳聽他們的哀聲。

The eyes of the LORD [are] upon the righteous, and his ears [are open] to their cry.

16 上主的威容敵視作惡的人民，要把他們的紀念由世上滅盡。

The face of the LORD [is] against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

17 義人一呼號，上主立即俯允，拯救他們出離一切的苦辛。

[The righteous] cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.

18 上主親近心靈破碎的人，上主必救助精神痛苦的人。

The LORD [is] nigh to them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as are of a contrite spirit.

19 義人的災難雖多，上主卻救他免禍；

Many [are] the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all.

20 把他的一切骨骸保全，連一根也不容許折斷。

He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.

21 邪惡為惡人招來死亡，憎恨義人者應該補償。

Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.

22 上主救助祂僕人生命，投奔祂的必不受處刑。

The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
