詩編 34:8

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

O taste, and see that the Lord [is] good,.... He is essentially, infinitely, perfectly, immutably, and solely good in himself; and he is communicatively and diffusively good to others: he is the author of all good, but not of any evil, in a moral sense; this chiefly regards his special grace and goodness through Christ: all the divine Persons in the Godhead are good; the Father is good, he has good designs towards his people, has provided good things for them, made good promises to them, and bestows good gifts on them: the Son is good; the good Shepherd that has laid down his life for the sheep; he is the fountain of all grace and goodness to his churches, and to particular believers; he has wrought a good work for them, the work of redemption, and he speaks a good word on their behalf in the court of heaven: the Spirit is good; he works good things in the hearts of the sons of men, and shows good things unto them; and gracious souls, such as the psalmist here calls upon, are capable of tasting and discerning how good the Lord is in some measure; see Psalms 119:103. While unregenerate, their taste is vitiated, and remains unchanged, and sin is what they feed upon with pleasure, and so detest everything that is good; but in conversion a new taste is given, so as to have a saving experimental knowledge of the grace and goodness of God in Christ, an application of it to them; and in such manner as to live upon it, and be nourished by it; and though this is not a superficial taste of things, like that of hypocrites, nor a single one only, being frequently repeated; yet it is but a taste in comparison of the enjoyment of it in the heavenly state; and every taste now influences and engages trust in the Lord, as follows;

blessed [is] the man [that] trusteth in him; Psalms 119:103- :; the Targum renders it, "that trust in his word".

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

O taste and see - This is an address to others, founded on the experience of the psalmist. He had found protection from the Lord; he had had evidence of His goodness; and he asks now of others that they would make the same trial which he had made. It is the language of piety in view of personal experience; and it is such language as a young convert, whose heart is filled with joy as hope first dawns on his soul, would address to his companions and friends, and to all the world around; such language as one who has had any special comfort, or who has experienced any special deliverance from temptation or from trouble, would address to others. Lessons, derived from our own experience, we may properly recommend to others; the evidence which has been furnished us that God is good, we may properly employ in persuading others to come and taste his love. The word “taste” here - טעם ṭâ‛am - means properly to try the flavor of anything, Job 12:11; to eat a little so as to ascertain what a thing is, 1 Samuel 14:24, 1Sa 14:29, 1 Samuel 14:43; Jonah 3:7; and then to perceive by the mind, to try, to experience, Proverbs 31:18.

It is used here in the sense of making a trial of, or testing by experience. The idea is, that by putting trust in God - by testing the comforts of religion - one would so thoroughly see or perceive the blessings of it - would have so much happiness in it - that he would be led to seek his happiness there altogether. In other words, if we could but get men to make a trial of religion; to enter upon it so as really to understand and experience it, we may be certain that they would have the same appreciation of it which we have, and that they would engage truly in the service of God. If those who are in danger would look to him; if sinners would believe in him; if the afflicted would seek him; if the wretched would cast their cares on him; if they who have sought in vain for happiness in the world, would seek happiness in him - they would, one and all, so surely find what they need that they would renounce all else, and put their trust alone in God. Of this the psalmist was certain; of this all are sure who have sought for happiness in religion and in God.

“Oh make but trial of His love;

Experience will decide

How bless’d are they - and only they -

Who in His truth confide.”

Blessed is the man that trusteth in him - Compare the notes at Psalms 2:12.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 34:8. O taste and see that the Lord is good — Apply to him by faith and prayer; plead his promises, he will fulfil them; and you shall know in consequence, that the Lord is good. God has put it in the power of every man to know whether the religion of the Bible be true or false. The promises relative to enjoyments in this life are the grand tests of Divine revelation. These must be fulfilled to all them who with deep repentance and true faith turn unto the Lord, if the revelation which contains them be of God. Let any man in this spirit approach his Maker, and plead the promises that are suited to his case, and he will soon know whether the doctrine be of God. He shall taste, and then see, that the Lord is good, and that the man is blessed who trusts in him. This is what is called experimental religion; the living, operative knowledge that a true believer has that he is passed from death unto life; that his sins are forgiven him for Christ's sake, the Spirit himself bearing witness with his spirit that he is a child of God. And, as long as he is faithful, he carries about with him the testimony of the Holy Ghost; and he knows that he is of God, by the Spirit which God has given him.
