Psalmi 34

VULGATA	NEW AMERICAN BIBLE
1 Ipsi David. Judica, Domine, nocentes me ; expugna impugnantes me.	1 Of David, when he feigned madness before Abimelech, who forced him to depart.
2 Apprehende arma et scutum, et exsurge in adjutorium mihi.	2 I will bless the LORD at all times; praise shall be always in my mouth.
3 Effunde frameam, et conclude adversus eos qui persequuntur me ; dic animæ meæ : Salus tua ego sum.	3 My soul will glory in the LORD that the poor may hear and be glad.
4 Confundantur et revereantur quærentes animam meam ; avertantur retrorsum et confundantur cogitantes mihi mala.	4 Magnify the LORD with me; let us exalt his name together.
5 Fiant tamquam pulvis ante faciem venti, et angelus Domini coarctans eos.	5 I sought the LORD, who answered me, delivered me from all my fears.
6 Fiat via illorum tenebræ et lubricum, et angelus Domini persequens eos.	6 Look to God that you may be radiant with joy and your faces may not blush for shame.
7 Quoniam gratis absconderunt mihi interitum laquei sui ; supervacue exprobraverunt animam meam.	7 In my misfortune I called, the LORD heard and saved me from all distress.
8 Veniat illi laqueus quem ignorat, et captio quam abscondit apprehendat eum, et in laqueum cadat in ipsum.	8 The angel of the LORD, who encamps with them, delivers all who fear God.
9 Anima autem mea exsultabit in Domino, et delectabitur super salutari suo.	9 Learn to savor how good the LORD is; happy are those who take refuge in him.
10 Omnia ossa mea dicent : Domine, quis similis tibi ? eripiens inopem de manu fortiorum ejus ; egenum et pauperem a diripientibus eum.	10 Fear the LORD, you holy ones; nothing is lacking to those who fear him.
11 Surgentes testes iniqui, quæ ignorabam interrogabant me.	11 The powerful grow poor and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
12 Retribuebant mihi mala pro bonis, sterilitatem animæ meæ.	12 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
13 Ego autem, cum mihi molesti essent, induebar cilicio ; humiliabam in jejunio animam meam, et oratio mea in sinu meo convertetur.	13 Who among you loves life, takes delight in prosperous days?
14 Quasi proximum et quasi fratrem nostrum sic complacebam ; quasi lugens et contristatus sic humiliabar.	14 Keep your tongue from evil, your lips from speaking lies.
15 Et adversum me lætati sunt, et convenerunt ; congregata sunt super me flagella, et ignoravi.	15 Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
16 Dissipati sunt, nec compuncti ; tentaverunt me, subsannaverunt me subsannatione ; frenduerunt super me dentibus suis.	16 The LORD has eyes for the just and ears for their cry.
17 Domine, quando respicies ? Restitue animam meam a malignitate eorum ; a leonibus unicam meam.	17 The LORD'S face is against evildoers to wipe out their memory from the earth.
18 Confitebor tibi in ecclesia magna ; in populo gravi laudabo te.	18 When the just cry out, the LORD hears and rescues them from all distress.
19 Non supergaudeant mihi qui adversantur mihi inique, qui oderunt me gratis, et annuunt oculis.	19 The LORD is close to the brokenhearted, saves those whose spirit is crushed.
20 Quoniam mihi quidem pacifice loquebantur ; et in iracundia terræ loquentes, dolos cogitabant.	20 Many are the troubles of the just, but the LORD delivers from them all.
21 Et dilataverunt super me os suum ; dixerunt : Euge, euge ! viderunt oculi nostri.	21 God watches over all their bones; not a one shall be broken.
22 Vidisti, Domine : ne sileas ; Domine, ne discedas a me.	22 Evil will slay the wicked; those who hate the just are condemned.
23 Exsurge et intende judicio meo, Deus meus ; et Dominus meus, in causam meam.	23 The LORD redeems loyal servants; no one is condemned whose refuge is God.
24 Judica me secundum justitiam tuam, Domine Deus meus, et non supergaudeant mihi.
25 Non dicant in cordibus suis : Euge, euge, animæ nostræ ; nec dicant : Devoravimus eum.
26 Erubescant et revereantur simul qui gratulantur malis meis ; induantur confusione et reverentia qui magna loquuntur super me.
27 Exsultent et lætentur qui volunt justitiam meam ; et dicant semper : Magnificetur Dominus, qui volunt pacem servi ejus.
28 Et lingua mea meditabitur justitiam tuam ; tota die laudem tuam.
