詩編 34:2

span data-lang="jpn" data-trans="kyb" data-ref="psa.34.1" class="versetxt"> 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

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord,.... Not in men, nor in any outward enjoyment, nor in any works of righteousness, but in the Lord; "in the Word of the Lord", as the Targum; in the Lord Jesus Christ; in his wisdom, strength, riches, righteousness, redemption, and salvation; in interest in him, and communion with him: and this is not tongue but soul boasting; and not flashy and selfish, but solid, spiritual, and hearty; and with all the powers and faculties of the soul; see 1 Corinthians 1:29;

the humble shall hear [thereof]; either of the deliverance the psalmist had out of the hands of his enemies; or of his blessing and praising the Lord for the same, and making his boast in him as the God of his salvation; or of both: of these humble ones, 1 Corinthians 1:29- :;

and be glad; for such rejoice with them that rejoice, and are glad at heart that others share in the goodness and grace of God; and also because by such an instance of the divine power and kindness they are encouraged to hope that he will, in his own time, deliver them out of their afflictions and distresses also.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

My soul shall make her boast in the Lord - I myself will rejoice and exult in him. The word “boast” here refers to that on which a man would value himself; that which would be most prominent in his mind when he endeavored to call to remembrance what he could reflect on with most pleasure. The psalmist here says that when He did this, it would not be wealth or strength to which he would refer; it would not be his rank or position in society; it would not be what he had done, nor what he had gained, as pertaining to this life. His joy would spring from the fact that there was a God; that he was such a God, and that he could regard him as His God. This would be his chief distinction - that on which he would value himself most. Of all the things that we can possess in this world, the crowning distinction is, that we have a God, and that he is such a being as he is.

The humble shall hear thereof - The poor; the afflicted; those who are in the lower walks of life. They should hear that he put his trust in God, and they should find joy in being thus directed to God as their portion and their hope. The psalmist seems to have referred here to that class particularly, because:

(a) they would be more likely to appreciate this than those of more elevated rank, or than those who had never known affliction; and

(b) because this would be specially fitted to impart to them support and consolation, as derived from his own experience.

He had been in trouble. He had been encompassed with dangers. He had been mercifully protected and delivered. He was about to state how it had been done. He was sure that they who were in the circumstances in which he had been would welcome the truths which he was about to state, and would rejoice that there might be deliverance for them also, and that they too might find God a protector and a friend. Calamity, danger, poverty, trial, are often of eminent advantage in preparing the mind to appreciate the nature, and to prize the lessons of religion.

And be glad - Rejoice in the story of my deliverance, since it will lead them to see that they also may find deliverance in the day of trial.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 34:2. My soul shall make her boast — Shall set itself to praise the Lord-shall consider this its chief work.

The humble — ענוים anavim, the afflicted, such as David had been.
