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.
τῷ Δαυιδ ὁπότε ἠλλοίωσεν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ ἐναντίον Αβιμελεχ καὶ ἀπέλυσεν αὐτόν καὶ ἀπῆλθεν εὐλογήσω τὸν κύριον ἐν παντὶ καιρῷ διὰ παντὸς ἡ αἴνεσις αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ στόματί μου
2 My soul shall make its boast in Jehovah: the meek shall hear, and rejoice.
ἐν τῷ κυρίῳ ἐπαινεσθήσεται ἡ ψυχή μου ἀκουσάτωσαν πραεῖς καὶ εὐφρανθήτωσαν
3 Magnify Jehovah with me, and let us exalt his name together.
μεγαλύνατε τὸν κύριον σὺν ἐμοί καὶ ὑψώσωμεν τὸ ὄνομα αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό
4 I sought Jehovah, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
ἐξεζήτησα τὸν κύριον καὶ ἐπήκουσέν μου καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν παροικιῶν μου ἐρρύσατό με
5 They looked unto him, and were enlightened, and their faces were not confounded.
προσέλθατε πρὸς αὐτὸν καὶ φωτίσθητε καὶ τὰ πρόσωπα ὑμῶν οὐ μὴ καταισχυνθῇ
6 This afflicted one called, and Jehovah heard [him], and saved him out of all his troubles.
οὗτος ὁ πτωχὸς ἐκέκραξεν καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτοῦ ἔσωσεν αὐτόν
7 The angel of Jehovah encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
παρεμβαλεῖ ἄγγελος κυρίου κύκλῳ τῶν φοβουμένων αὐτὸν καὶ ῥύσεται αὐτούς
8 Taste and see that Jehovah is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him!
γεύσασθε καὶ ἴδετε ὅτι χρηστὸς ὁ κύριος μακάριος ἀνήρ ὃς ἐλπίζει ἐπ’ αὐτόν
9 Fear Jehovah, ye his saints; for there is no want to them that fear him.
φοβήθητε τὸν κύριον οἱ ἅγιοι αὐτοῦ ὅτι οὐκ ἔστιν ὑστέρημα τοῖς φοβουμένοις αὐτόν
10 The young lions are in need and suffer hunger; but they that seek Jehovah shall not want any good.
πλούσιοι ἐπτώχευσαν καὶ ἐπείνασαν οἱ δὲ ἐκζητοῦντες τὸν κύριον οὐκ ἐλαττωθήσονται παντὸς ἀγαθοῦ διάψαλμα
11 Come, ye sons, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of Jehovah.
δεῦτε τέκνα ἀκούσατέ μου φόβον κυρίου διδάξω ὑμᾶς
12 What man is he that desireth life, [and] loveth days, that he may see good?
τίς ἐστιν ἄνθρωπος ὁ θέλων ζωὴν ἀγαπῶν ἡμέρας ἰδεῖν ἀγαθάς
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
παῦσον τὴν γλῶσσάν σου ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ χείλη σου τοῦ μὴ λαλῆσαι δόλον
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
ἔκκλινον ἀπὸ κακοῦ καὶ ποίησον ἀγαθόν ζήτησον εἰρήνην καὶ δίωξον αὐτήν
15 The eyes of Jehovah are upon the righteous, and his ears are toward their cry;
ὀφθαλμοὶ κυρίου ἐπὶ δικαίους καὶ ὦτα αὐτοῦ εἰς δέησιν αὐτῶν
16 The face of Jehovah is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth:
πρόσωπον δὲ κυρίου ἐπὶ ποιοῦντας κακὰ τοῦ ἐξολεθρεῦσαι ἐκ γῆς τὸ μνημόσυνον αὐτῶν
17 [The righteous] cry, and Jehovah heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
ἐκέκραξαν οἱ δίκαιοι καὶ ὁ κύριος εἰσήκουσεν αὐτῶν καὶ ἐκ πασῶν τῶν θλίψεων αὐτῶν ἐρρύσατο αὐτούς
18 Jehovah is nigh to those that are of a broken heart, and saveth them that are of a contrite spirit.
ἐγγὺς κύριος τοῖς συντετριμμένοις τὴν καρδίαν καὶ τοὺς ταπεινοὺς τῷ πνεύματι σώσει
19 Many are the adversities of the righteous, but Jehovah delivereth him out of them all:
πολλαὶ αἱ θλίψεις τῶν δικαίων καὶ ἐκ πασῶν αὐτῶν ῥύσεται αὐτούς
20 He keepeth all his bones; not one of them is broken.
κύριος φυλάσσει πάντα τὰ ὀστᾶ αὐτῶν ἓν ἐξ αὐτῶν οὐ συντριβήσεται
21 Evil shall destroy the wicked; and they that hate the righteous shall bear their guilt.
θάνατος ἁμαρτωλῶν πονηρός καὶ οἱ μισοῦντες τὸν δίκαιον πλημμελήσουσιν
22 Jehovah redeemeth the soul of his servants; and none of them that trust in him shall bear guilt.
λυτρώσεται κύριος ψυχὰς δούλων αὐτοῦ καὶ οὐ μὴ πλημμελήσωσιν πάντες οἱ ἐλπίζοντες ἐπ’ αὐτόν
