PSALM 34

PSALM CHAPTER 34

Psalm 34:1 By David, in his changing his behaviour before Abimelech, and he driveth him away, and he goeth. I do bless YHWH at all times, Continually His praise [is] in my mouth.
34:2 In YHWH doth my soul boast herself, Hear do the humble and rejoice.
34:3 Ascribe ye greatness to YHWH with me, And we exalt His name together.
34:4 I sought YHWH, and He answered me, And from all my fears did deliver me.
34:5 They looked expectingly unto Him, And they became bright, And their faces are not ashamed.
34:6 This poor [one] called, and YHWH heard, And from all his distresses saved him.
34:7 A messenger of YHWH is encamping, Round about those who fear Him, And He armeth them.
34:8 Taste ye and see that YHWH [is] good, O the happiness of the man who trusteth in Him.
34:9 Fear YHWH, ye His holy ones, For there is no lack to those fearing Him.
Psalm 34:10 Young lions have lacked and been hungry, And those seeking YHWH lack not any good,
34:11 Come ye, children, hearken to me, The fear of YHWH I do teach you.
34:12 Who [is] the man that is desiring life? Loving days to see good?
34:13 Keep thy tongue from evil, And thy lips from speaking deceit.
34:14 Turn aside from evil and do good, Seek peace and pursue it.
34:15 The eyes of YHWH [are] unto the righteous, And His ears unto their cry.
34:16 (The face of YHWH [is] on doers of evil, To cut off from earth their memorial.)
34:17 They cried, and YHWH heard, And from all their distresses delivered them.
34:18 Near [is] YHWH to the broken of heart, And the bruised of spirit He saveth.
34:19 Many [are] the evils of the righteous, Out of them all doth YHWH deliver him.
Psalm 34:20 He is keeping all his bones, One of them hath not been broken.
34:21 Evil doth put to death the wicked, And those hating the righteous are desolate.
34:22 YHWH redeemeth the soul of His servants, And none trusting in Him are desolate!

PSALM 35

Psalm 35:1 By David. Strive, YHWH, with my strivers, fight with my fighters,
35:2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise for my help,
35:3 And draw out spear and lance, To meet my pursuers. Say to my soul, 'Thy salvation I [am].'
35:4 They are ashamed and blush, those seeking my soul, Turned backward and confounded, Those devising my evil.
35:5 They are as chaff before wind, And a messenger of YHWH driving away.
35:6 Their way is darkness and slipperiness, And a messenger of YHWH their pursuer.
35:7 For without cause they hid for me their netpit, Without cause they digged for my soul.
35:8 Meet him doth desolation -- he knoweth not, And his net that he hid catcheth him, For desolation he falleth into it.
35:9 And my soul is joyful in YHWH, It rejoiceth in His salvation.
Psalm 35:10 All my bones say, 'YHWH, who is like Thee, Delivering the poor from the stronger than he, And the poor and needy from his plunderer.'
35:11 Violent witnesses rise up, That which I have not known they ask me.
35:12 They pay me evil for good, bereaving my soul,
35:13 And I -- in their sickness my clothing [is] sackcloth, I have humbled with fastings my soul, And my prayer unto my bosom returneth.
35:14 As [if] a friend, as [if] my brother, I walked habitually, As a mourner for a mother, Mourning I have bowed down.
35:15 And -- in my halting they have rejoiced, And have been gathered together, Gathered against me were the smiters, And I have not known, They have rent, and they have not ceased;
35:16 With profane ones, mockers in feasts, Gnashing against me their teeth.
35:17 Lord, how long dost thou behold? Keep back my soul from their desolations, From young lions my only one.
35:18 I thank Thee in a great assembly, Among a mighty people I praise Thee.
35:19 Mine enemies rejoice not over me [with] falsehood, Those hating me without cause wink the eye.
Psalm 35:20 For they speak not peace, And against the quiet of the land, Deceitful words they devise,
35:21 And they enlarge against me their mouth, They said, 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen.'
35:22 Thou hast seen, O YHWH, Be not silent, O Lord -- be not far from me,
35:23 Stir up, and wake to my judgment, My God, and my Lord, to my plea.
35:24 Judge me according to Thy righteousness, O YHWH my God, And they do not rejoice over me.
35:25 They do not say in their heart, 'Aha, our desire.' They do not say, 'We swallowed him up.'
35:26 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are rejoicing at my evil. They put on shame and confusion, Who are magnifying themselves against me.
35:27 They sing and rejoice, who are desiring my righteousness, And they say continually, 'YHWH is magnified, Who is desiring the peace of His servant.'
35:28 And my tongue uttereth Thy righteousness, All the day Thy praise!

PSALM 36

Psalm 36:1 To the Overseer. -- By a servant of YHWH, by David. The transgression of the wicked Is affirming within my heart, 'Fear of God is not before his eyes,
36:2 For he made [it] smooth to himself in his eyes, To find his iniquity to be hated.
36:3 The words of his mouth [are] iniquity and deceit, He ceased to act prudently -- to do good.
36:4 Iniquity he deviseth on his bed, He stationeth himself on a way not good, Evil he doth not refuse.'
36:5 O YHWH, in the heavens [is] Thy kindness, Thy faithfulness [is] unto the clouds.
36:6 Thy righteousness [is] as mountains of God, Thy judgments [are] a great deep. Man and beast Thou savest, O YHWH.
36:7 How precious [is] Thy kindness, O God, And the sons of men In the shadow of Thy wings do trust.
36:8 They are filled from the fatness of Thy house, And the stream of Thy delights Thou dost cause them to drink.
36:9 For with Thee [is] a fountain of life, In Thy light we see light.
Psalm 36:10 Draw out Thy kindness to those knowing Thee, And Thy righteousness to the upright of heart.
36:11 Let not a foot of pride meet me, And a hand of the wicked let not move me.
36:12 There have workers of iniquity fallen, They have been overthrown, And have not been able to arise!

37:14 A sword have the wicked opened, And they have trodden their bow, To cause to fall the poor and needy, To slaughter the upright of the way.
37:15 Their sword doth enter into their own heart, And their bows are shivered.

37:24 When he falleth, he is not cast down, For YHWH is sustaining his hand.
37:25 Young I have been, I have also become old, And I have not seen the righteous forsaken, And his seed seeking bread.
37:26 All the day he is gracious and lending, And his seed [is] for a blessing.
37:27 Turn aside from evil, and do good, and dwell to the age.

37:33 YHWH doth not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him in his being judged.
37:34 Look unto YHWH, and keep His way, And He doth exalt thee to possess the land, In the wicked being cut off -- thou seest!
37:35 I have seen the wicked terrible, And spreading as a green native plant,
37:36 And he passeth away, and lo, he is not, And I seek him, and he is not found!
37:37 Observe the perfect, and see the upright, For the latter end of each [is] peace.
37:38 And transgressors were destroyed together, The latter end of the wicked was cut off.
37:39 And the salvation of the righteous [is] from YHWH, Their strong place in a time of adversity.

PSALM 40

Psalm 40:1 To the Overseer. -- A Psalm of David. I have diligently expected YHWH, And He inclineth to me, and heareth my cry,
40:2 And He doth cause me to come up From a pit of desolation -- from mire of mud, And He raiseth up on a rock my feet, He is establishing my steps.
40:3 And He putteth in my mouth a new song, 'Praise to our God.' Many do see and fear, and trust in YHWH.
40:4 O the happiness of the man Who hath made YHWH his trust, And hath not turned unto the proud, And those turning aside to lies.
40:5 Much hast Thou done, YHWH my God; Thy wonders and Thy thoughts toward us, There is none to arrange unto Thee, I declare and speak: They have been more than to be numbered.
40:6 Sacrifice and present Thou hast not desired, Ears Thou hast prepared for me, Burnt and sin-offering Thou hast not asked.
40:7 Then said I, 'Lo, I have come,' In the roll of the book it is written of me,
40:8 To do Thy pleasure, my God, I have delighted, And Thy law [is] within my heart.
40:9 I have proclaimed tidings of righteousness In the great assembly, lo, my lips I restrain not, O YHWH, Thou hast known.
Psalm 40:10 Thy righteousness I have not concealed In the midst of my heart, Thy faithfulness and Thy salvation I have told, I have not hidden Thy kindness and Thy truth, To the great assembly.
40:11 Thou, O YHWH, restrainest not Thy mercies from me, Thy kindness and Thy truth do continually keep me.
40:12 For compassed me have evils innumerable, Overtaken me have mine iniquities, And I have not been able to see; They have been more than the hairs of my head, And my heart hath forsaken me.
40:13 Be pleased, O YHWH, to deliver me, O YHWH, for my help make haste.
40:14 They are ashamed and confounded together, Who are seeking my soul to destroy it, They are turned backward, And are ashamed, who are desiring my evil.
40:15 They are desolate because of their shame, Who are saying to me, 'Aha, aha.'
40:16 All seeking Thee rejoice and are glad in Thee, Those loving Thy salvation say continually, 'YHWH is magnified.'
40:17 And I [am] poor and needy, The Lord doth devise for me. My help and my deliverer [art] Thou, O my God, tarry Thou not.
