Psalms 34:1-16

¹I will always thank Yahweh; I will constantly praise him MTY.

²I will boast about what Yahweh has done. All those who are oppressed/discouraged should hear me and rejoice.

³Join with me in telling others that Yahweh is great! You and I should together proclaim how glorious he is!

⁴I prayed to Yahweh, and he ◄answered my prayer/did what I asked him to do►; he rescued me from all those who caused me to be afraid.

⁵Those who trust IDM that he will help them will be joyful; ◄they will never be disappointed/he will always do for them the things that he promises► LIT.

⁶I was miserable/helpless, but I called out to Yahweh, and he heard me. He rescued me from all my troubles.

⁷An angel from Yahweh guards those who revere him, and the angel rescues them.

⁸Find out for yourself, and you will experience that Yahweh is good to you! He is very pleased with those who ask him to protect them.

⁹All you who belong to him, revere him! Those who do that will always have the things that they need LIT.

¹⁰Lions are usually very strong, but sometimes even young lions are hungry and become weak, but those who trust in Yahweh will ◄have everything/not lack any good thing► LIT that they need.

¹¹You ◄who are my students/whom I teach►, come and listen to me, and I will teach you how to revere Yahweh.

¹²If RHQ any of you wants to enjoy life and have a good long life,

¹³do not say anythoing that is evil! Do not tell lies!

¹⁴Turn away from doing evil, and do what is good! Always try hard to enable people to live peacefully with each other.

¹⁵Yahweh MTY carefully watches over those who act righteously; he always responds MTY to them when they call to him for help.

¹⁶But Yahweh SYN ◄is opposed to/turns away from► those who do what is evil. And after they die, people will forget them completely.
