詩編 34:1

聖書日本語

1 わたしは常に主をほめまつる。そのさんびはわたしの口に絶えない。2 わが魂は主によって誇る。苦しむ者はこれを聞いて喜ぶであろう。3 わたしと共に主をあがめよ、われらは共にみ名をほめたたえよう。4 わたしが主に求めたとき、主はわたしに答え、すべての恐れからわたしを助け出された。5 主を仰ぎ見て、光を得よ、そうすれば、あなたがたは、恥じて顔を赤くすることはない。6 この苦しむ者が呼ばわったとき、主は聞いて、すべての悩みから救い出された。7 主の使は主を恐れる者のまわりに陣をしいて彼らを助けられる。8 主の恵みふかきことを味わい知れ、主に寄り頼む人はさいわいである。9 主の聖徒よ、主を恐れよ、主を恐れる者には乏しいことがないからである。10 若きししは乏しくなって飢えることがある。しかし主を求める者は良き物に欠けることはない。11 子らよ、来てわたしに聞け、わたしは主を恐るべきことをあなたがたに教えよう。12 さいわいを見ようとして、いのちを慕い、ながらえることを好む人はだれか。13 あなたの舌をおさえて悪を言わせず、あなたのくちびるをおさえて偽りを言わすな。14 悪を離れて善をおこない、やわらぎを求めて、これを努めよ。15 主の目は正しい人をかえりみ、その耳は彼らの叫びに傾く。16 主のみ顔は悪を行う者にむかい、その記憶を地から断ち滅ぼされる。17 正しい者が助けを叫び求めるとき、主は聞いて、彼らをそのすべての悩みから助け出される。18 主は心の砕けた者に近く、たましいの悔いくずおれた者を救われる。19 正しい者には災が多い。しかし、主はすべてその中から彼を助け出される。20 主は彼の骨をことごとく守られる。その一つだに折られることはない。21 悪は悪しき者を殺す。正しい者を憎む者は罪に定められる。22 主はそのしもべらの命をあがなわれる。主に寄り頼む者はひとりだに罪に定められることはない。

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I will bless the Lord at all times,.... That is, ascribe blessing, give honour, praise, and glory to him, both as the God of nature and providence, for every temporal mercy; and that every day, and at all times in the day; since these are renewed every morning, and continue all the day long: and as the God of grace, for all spiritual blessings; and that continually, because these last always; they are irreversible, unchangeable, and without repentance; yea, saints have reason to bless God in times of adversity as well as prosperity, since it might have been worse with them than it is; they have a mixture of mercy in all, and all things work together for their good;

his praise [shall] continually [be] in my mouth; not the "praise" of which God is the author, but of which he is the object; which is due unto him, and is given him on account of the perfections of his nature, and the works of his hands, and the blessings of his providence and grace; this, the psalmist says, should be in his mouth: his meaning is, that he should not only retain in his heart a grateful sense of the divine favours, but should express it with his lips; should both make melody in his heart to the Lord, and vocally sing his praise; and that "continually", as long as he lived, or had any being, Psalms 146:2.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I will bless the Lord - I will praise him; I will be thankful for his mercies, and will always express my sense of his goodness.

At all times - In every situation of life; in every event that occurs. The idea is, that he would do it publicly and privately; in prosperity and in adversity; in safety and in danger; in joy and in sorrow. It would be a great principle of his life, expressive of the deep feeling of his soul, that God was always to be regarded as an object of adoration and praise.

His praise shall continually be in my mouth - I will be constantly uttering his praises; or, my thanks shall be unceasing. This expresses the “purpose” of the psalmist; and this is an indication of the nature of true piety. With a truly pious man the praise of God is constant; and it is an indication of true religion when a man is “disposed” always to bless God, whatever may occur. Irreligion, unbelief, scepticism, worldliness, false philosophy, murmur and complain under the trials and amidst the dark things of life; true religion, faith, love, spirituality of mind, Christian philosophy, see in God always an object of praise. People who have no real piety, but who make pretensions to it, are disposed to praise and bless God in times of sunshine and prosperity; true piety always regards him as worthy of praise - in the storm as well as in the sunshine; in the dark night of calamity, as well as in the bright days of prosperity. Compare Job 13:15.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

PSALM XXXIV

David praises God, and exhorts others to do the same, 1-3;

shows how he sought the Lord, and how he was found of him, 4-6.

All are exhorted to taste and see the goodness of God; with

the assurance of support and comfort, 7-10.

He shows the way to attain happiness and long life, 11-16;

the privileges of the righteous, and of all who sincerely seek

God, 17-22.

NOTES ON PSALM XXXIV

The title states that this is "A Psalm of David, when he changed his behaviour before Abimelech; who drove him away, and he departed." The history of this transaction may be found in 1 Samuel 21:10-15, on which chapter see the notes. But Abimelech is not the person there mentioned; it was Achish, king of Gath, called here Abimelech, because that was a common name of the Philistine kings. Neither MS. nor version reads Achish in this place; and all the versions agree in the title as it stands in our version, except the Syriac, which states it to be "A Psalm of David, when he went to the house of the Lord, that he might give the first-fruits to the priests."

Of the occasion of this Psalm, as stated here, I have given my opinion in the notes on 1 Samuel 21:10-15, to which I have nothing to add. On the whole I prefer the view taken of it by the Septuagint, which intimates that "David fell into an epileptic fit; that he frothed at the mouth, fell against the doorposts, and gave such unequivocal evidences of being subject to epileptic fits, and during the time his intellect became so much impaired, that Achish Abimelech dismissed him from his court." This saves the character of David; and if it cannot be vindicated in this way, then let it fall under reproach as to this thing; for hypocrisy, deceit, and falsehood, can never be right in the sight of God, whatever men may ingeniously say to excuse them.

This is the second of the acrostic or alphabetical Psalms, each verse beginning with a consecutive letter of the Hebrew alphabet. But in this Psalm some derangement has taken place. The verse which begins with ו vau, and which should come in between the fifth and sixth, is totally wanting; and the twenty-second verse is entirely out of the series; it is, however, my opinion that this verse (the twenty-second) which now begins with פ phe, פודה podeh, redeemeth, was originally written ופודה vepodeh or with פדה padah, as more than a hundred of Dr. Kennicott's MSS. read it, thus making ופדה vepodah, "and will redeem" and this reads admirably in the above connection. I shall here place the verses at one view, and the reader shall judge for himself:

Ver. Psalms 34:5. "They looked unto him, and were enlightened: and their faces were not ashamed."

Ver. Psalms 34:22. "AND the Lord will redeem the soul of his servants, and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate."

Ver. Psalms 34:6. "This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles."

Ver. Psalms 34:7. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them."

Thus we find the connection complete, with the above emendation.

Verse Psalms 34:1. I will bless the Lord at all times — He has laid me under endless obligation to him, and I will praise him while I have a being.
