Salmos 34
La Biblia de las Américas
El Señor, proveedor y salvador
Salmo de David cuando se fingió loco[a] delante de Abimelec[b], quien lo echó, y él se fue.
34 Bendeciré al Señor en todo tiempo(A);
continuamente estará su alabanza en mi boca(B).
2 En el Señor se gloriará mi alma(C);
lo oirán los humildes y se regocijarán(D).
3 Engrandeced al Señor conmigo(E),
y exaltemos a una[c] su nombre(F).
4 Busqué al Señor, y Él me respondió(G),
y me libró de todos mis temores(H).
5 Los que a Él miraron, fueron iluminados[d](I);
sus rostros jamás serán avergonzados(J).
6 Este pobre[e] clamó, y el Señor le oyó,
y lo salvó de todas sus angustias(K).
7 El ángel del Señor(L) acampa alrededor de los que le temen,
y los rescata.
8 Probad[f] y ved que el Señor es bueno(M).
¡Cuán bienaventurado es el hombre que en Él se refugia(N)!
9 Temed al Señor, vosotros sus santos(O),
pues nada les falta(P) a aquellos que le temen.
10 Los leoncillos pasan necesidad y tienen hambre,
mas los que buscan al Señor no carecerán de bien alguno(Q).
11 Venid, hijos, escuchadme(R);
os enseñaré el temor del Señor(S).
12 ¿Quién es el hombre que desea vida(T)
y quiere muchos días para ver el bien(U)?
13 Guarda tu lengua del mal(V),
y tus labios de hablar engaño(W).
14 Apártate del mal y haz el bien(X),
busca la paz y síguela(Y).
15 Los ojos del Señor están sobre los justos(Z),
y sus oídos atentos a su clamor.
16 El rostro del Señor está contra los que hacen mal(AA),
para cortar de la tierra su memoria(AB).
17 Claman los justos, y el Señor los oye,
y los libra de todas sus angustias(AC).
18 Cercano está el Señor(AD) a los quebrantados de corazón(AE),
y salva a los abatidos[g] de espíritu(AF).
19 Muchas son las aflicciones del justo(AG),
pero de todas ellas lo libra el Señor(AH).
20 Él guarda todos sus huesos;
ni uno de ellos es quebrantado(AI).
21 La maldad dará muerte al impío,
y los que aborrecen al justo serán condenados[h](AJ).
22 El Señor redime el alma de sus siervos(AK);
y no será condenado[i] ninguno de los que en Él se refugian(AL).

Psalm 34
New King James Version
The Happiness of Those Who Trust in God
A Psalm of David (A)when he pretended madness before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed.
34 I will (B)bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord;
The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,
And let us exalt His name together.
4 I (C)sought the Lord, and He heard me,
And delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked to Him and were radiant,
And their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him,
And saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (D)The [a]angel of the Lord (E)encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them.
8 Oh, (F)taste and see that the Lord is good;
(G)Blessed is the man who trusts in Him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you His saints!
There is no [b]want to those who fear Him.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger;
(H)But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
11 Come, you children, listen to me;
(I)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 (J)Who is the man who desires life,
And loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil,
And your lips from speaking (K)deceit.
14 (L)Depart from evil and do good;
(M)Seek peace and pursue it.
15 (N)The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous,
And His ears are open to their cry.
16 (O)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
(P)To [c]cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry out, and (Q)the Lord hears,
And delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 (R)The Lord is near (S)to those who have a broken heart,
And saves such as [d]have a contrite spirit.
19 (T)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(U)But the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He guards all his bones;
(V)Not one of them is broken.
21 (W)Evil shall slay the wicked,
And those who hate the righteous shall be [e]condemned.
22 The Lord (X)redeems the soul of His servants,
And none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned.

Psalm 34
Easy-to-Read Version
[a] A song of David when he pretended to be crazy so that Abimelech would send him away, which he did.
34 I will praise the Lord at all times.
I will never stop singing his praises.
2 Humble people, listen and be happy,
while I brag about the Lord.
3 Praise the Lord with me.
Let us honor his name.
4 I went to the Lord for help, and he listened.
He saved me from all that I fear.
5 If you look to him for help,
he will put a smile on your face.
You will have no need to be ashamed.
6 As a poor, helpless man I prayed to the Lord,
and he heard me.
He saved me from all my troubles.
7 The Lord’s angel builds a camp around his followers,
and he protects them.
8 Give the Lord a chance to show you[b] how good he is.
Great blessings belong to those who depend on him!
9 The Lord’s holy people should fear and respect him.
Those who respect him will always have what they need.
10 Even strong lions get weak and hungry,
but those who go to the Lord for help will have every good thing.
11 Children, come and listen to me;
I will teach you to respect the Lord.
12 Do you want to enjoy life?
Do you want to have many happy days?
13 Then avoid saying anything hurtful,
and never let a lie come out of your mouth.
14 Stop doing anything evil, and do good.
Look for peace, and do all you can to help people live peacefully.
15 The Lord watches over those who do what is right,
and he hears their prayers.
16 But the Lord is against those who do evil,
so they are forgotten soon after they die.
17 Pray to the Lord, and he will hear you.
He will save you from all your troubles.
18 The Lord is close to those who have suffered disappointment.
He saves those who are discouraged.
19 Good people might have many problems,
but the Lord will take them all away.
20 He will protect them completely.
Not one of their bones will be broken.
21 But troubles will kill the wicked.
The enemies of those who live right will all be punished.
22 The Lord saves his servants.
All who go to him for protection will escape punishment.
