La protección divina

Salmo de David, cuando mudó su semblante delante de Abimelec,(A) y él lo echó, y se fue.

34 Bendeciré a Jehová en todo tiempo;

Su alabanza estará de continuo en mi boca.

En Jehová se gloriará mi alma;

Lo oirán los mansos, y se alegrarán.

Engrandeced a Jehová conmigo,

Y exaltemos a una su nombre.

Busqué a Jehová, y él me oyó,

Y me libró de todos mis temores.

Los que miraron a él fueron alumbrados,

Y sus rostros no fueron avergonzados.

Este pobre clamó, y le oyó Jehová,

Y lo libró de todas sus angustias.

El ángel de Jehová acampa alrededor de los que le temen,

Y los defiende.

Gustad, y ved que es bueno Jehová;(B)

Dichoso el hombre que confía en él.

Temed a Jehová, vosotros sus santos,

Pues nada falta a los que le temen.

10 Los leoncillos necesitan, y tienen hambre;

Pero los que buscan a Jehová no tendrán falta de ningún bien.

11 Venid, hijos, oídme;

El temor de Jehová os enseñaré.

12 ¿Quién es el hombre que desea vida,

Que desea muchos días para ver el bien?

13 Guarda tu lengua del mal,

Y tus labios de hablar engaño.

14 Apártate del mal, y haz el bien;

Busca la paz, y síguela.

15 Los ojos de Jehová están sobre los justos,

Y atentos sus oídos al clamor de ellos.

16 La ira de Jehová contra los que hacen mal,(C)

Para cortar de la tierra la memoria de ellos.

17 Claman los justos, y Jehová oye,

Y los libra de todas sus angustias.

18 Cercano está Jehová a los quebrantados de corazón;

Y salva a los contritos de espíritu.

19 Muchas son las aflicciones del justo,

Pero de todas ellas le librará Jehová.

20 Él guarda todos sus huesos;

Ni uno de ellos será quebrantado.(D)

21 Matará al malo la maldad,

Y los que aborrecen al justo serán condenados.

22 Jehová redime el alma de sus siervos,

Y no serán condenados cuantos en él confían.

Psalm 34[a][b]

Of David. When he pretended to be insane(A) before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.

I will extol the Lord at all times;(B)
    his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory(C) in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.(D)
Glorify the Lord(E) with me;
    let us exalt(F) his name together.

I sought the Lord,(G) and he answered me;
    he delivered(H) me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;(I)
    their faces are never covered with shame.(J)
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.(K)
The angel of the Lord(L) encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers(M) them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;(N)
    blessed is the one who takes refuge(O) in him.
Fear the Lord,(P) you his holy people,
    for those who fear him lack nothing.(Q)
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.(R)
11 Come, my children, listen(S) to me;
    I will teach you(T) the fear of the Lord.(U)
12 Whoever of you loves life(V)
    and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue(W) from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.(X)
14 Turn from evil and do good;(Y)
    seek peace(Z) and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord(AA) are on the righteous,(AB)
    and his ears are attentive(AC) to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against(AD) those who do evil,(AE)
    to blot out their name(AF) from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears(AG) them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close(AH) to the brokenhearted(AI)
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 The righteous person may have many troubles,(AJ)
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;(AK)
20 he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.(AL)

21 Evil will slay the wicked;(AM)
    the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue(AN) his servants;
    no one who takes refuge(AO) in him will be condemned.
