Psalms 34

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

١ لِدَاوُدَ عِنْدَمَا ادَّعَى الْجُنُونَ أَمَامَ أَبِيمَالِكَ، فَصَرَفَهُ عَنْهُ، فَمَضَى آمِناً. أُبَارِكُ الرَّبَّ فِي كُلِّ حِينٍ. تَسْبِيحُهُ دَائِماً فِي فَمِي.

2 My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.

٢ تَفْتَخِرُ نَفْسِي بِالرَّبِّ، فَيَسْمَعُنِي الْوُدَعَاءُ وَيَفْرَحُونَ.

3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.

٣ مَجِّدُوا الرَّبَّ مَعِي، وَلْنُعَظِّمِ اسْمَهُ مَعاً.

4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

٤ الْتَمَسْتُ الرَّبَّ فَأَجَابَنِي، وأَنْقَذَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَخَاوِفِي.

5 They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.

٥ الَّذِينَ تَطَلَّعُوا إِلَيْهِ اسْتَنَارُوا، وَلَمْ تَخْجَلْ وُجُوهُهُمْ قَطُّ.

6 This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.

٦ هَذَا الْمِسْكِينُ اسْتَغَاثَ، فَسَمِعَهُ الرَّبُّ وَأَنْقَذَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِ.

7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

٧ مَلاكُ الرَّبِّ يُخَيِّمُ حَوْلَ خَائِفِيهِ، وَيُنَجِّيهِمْ.

8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!

٨ ذُوقُوا وَانْظُرُوا مَا أَطْيَبَ الرَّبَّ. طُوبَى لِلرَّجُلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَلَيْهِ.

9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.

٩ اتَّقُوا الرَّبَّ يَا قِدِّيسِيهِ، لأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ عَوَزٌ لِمُتَّقِيهِ.

10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.

١٠ تَحْتَاجُ الأَشْبَالُ وَتَجُوعُ، وَأَمَّا طَالِبُو الرَّبِّ فَلَا يُعْوِزُهُمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ.

11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.

١١ تَعَالَوْا أَيُّهَا الْبَنُونَ وَأَصْغُوا إِلَيَّ، فَأُعَلِّمَكُمْ مَخَافَةَ الرَّبِّ.

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

١٢ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَمَتَّعَ بِحَيَاةٍ سَعِيدَةٍ وَأَيَّامٍ طَيِّبَةٍ،

13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;

١٣ فَلْيَمْنَعْ لِسَانَهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَشَفَتَيْهِ عَنْ كَلامِ الْغِشِّ

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

١٤ لِيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنِ الشَّرِّ وَيَفْعَلِ الْخَيْرَ. لِيَطْلُبِ السَّلامَ وَيَسْعَ لِلْوُصُولِ إِلَيْهِ

15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;

١٥ لأَنَّ الرَّبَّ يَرْعَى الأَبْرَارَ بِعِنَايَتِهِ وَيَسْتَجِيبُ إِلَى دُعَائِهِمْ.

16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:

١٦ وَلَكِنْ يَقِفُ ضِدَّ الَّذِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ الشَّرَّ لِيَسْتَأْصِلَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ ذِكْرَهُمْ.

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

١٧ يَسْتَغِيثُ الأَبْرَارُ، فَيَسْمَعُ لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ وَيُنْقِذُهُمْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ضِيقَاتِهِمْ.

18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.

١٨ الرَّبُّ قَرِيبٌ مِنْ مُنْكَسِرِي الْقَلْبِ، وَيُخَلِّصُ مُنْسَحِقِي الرُّوحِ.

19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:

١٩ مَا أَكْثَرَ مَصَائِبَ الصِّدِّيقِ، وَلَكِنْ مِنْ جَمِيعِهَا يُنْقِذُهُ الرَّبُّ.

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

٢٠ يَحْفَظُ عِظَامَهُ كُلَّهَا، فَلَا تُكْسَرُ وَاحِدَةٌ مِنْهَا.

21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.

٢١ الشَّرُّ يُمِيتُ الشِّرِّيرَ، وَالَّذِينَ يُبْغِضُونَ الصِّدِّيقَ يُعَاقَبُونَ.

22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.

٢٢ الرَّبُّ يَفْدِي نُفُوسَ عَبِيدِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ يَنْجُو.
