Psalm 34
English Standard Version
Taste and See That the Lord Is Good
[a] Of David, when he (A)changed his behavior before (B)Abimelech, so that he drove him out, and he went away.
34 I will bless the Lord (C)at all times;
his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul (D)makes its boast in the Lord;
let the humble hear and (E)be glad.
3 Oh, (F)magnify the Lord with me,
and let us exalt his name together!
4 I (G)sought the Lord, and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are (H)radiant,
and their faces shall never be ashamed.
6 (I)This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him
and (J)saved him out of all his troubles.
7 (K)The angel of the Lord (L)encamps
around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 Oh, (M)taste and see that (N)the Lord is good!
(O)Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!
10 (P)The young lions suffer want and hunger;
but those who (Q)seek the Lord lack no good thing.
11 (R)Come, O children, listen to me;
(S)I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 (T)What man is there who desires life
and loves many days, that he may (U)see good?
13 (V)Keep your tongue from evil
and your lips from (W)speaking deceit.
14 (X)Turn away from evil and do good;
seek peace and (Y)pursue it.
15 (Z)The eyes of the Lord are toward the righteous
(AA)and his ears toward their cry.
16 (AB)The face of the Lord is against those who do evil,
to (AC)cut off the memory of them from the earth.
17 (AD)When the righteous cry for help, the Lord hears
and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is near to (AE)the brokenhearted
and saves (AF)the crushed in spirit.
19 (AG)Many are the afflictions of the righteous,
(AH)but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
20 He keeps all his bones;
(AI)not one of them is broken.
21 (AJ)Affliction will slay the wicked,
and those who hate the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord (AK)redeems the life of his servants;
none of those who take refuge in him will be (AL)condemned.

Evidencias de la bondad del SEÑOR[a]
34 Salmo de David, cuando cambió su conducta ante Abimelec[b], y este lo echó, y él se fue.
[c]Bendeciré al SEÑOR en todo tiempo;
su alabanza estará siempre en mi boca.
2 En el SEÑOR se gloriará mi alma;
lo oirán los mansos y se alegrarán.
3 Engrandezcan al SEÑOR conmigo; ensalcemos juntos su nombre.
4 Yo busqué al SEÑOR, y él me oyó
y de todos mis temores me libró.
5 Los que a él miran son iluminados; sus rostros no serán avergonzados.
6 Este pobre clamó, y el SEÑOR
le escuchó
y lo libró de todas sus angustias.
7 El ángel del SEÑOR acampa en derredor de los que le temen,
y los libra.
8 Prueben y vean que el SEÑOR
es bueno.
¡Bienaventurado el hombre que se
refugia en él!
9 Teman al SEÑOR, ustedes sus santos, porque nada falta a los que le temen.
10 Los leones tienen necesidades
y sufren hambre,
pero los que buscan al SEÑOR
no tendrán falta de ningún bien.
11 Vengan, oh hijos, escuchen;
el temor del SEÑOR les enseñaré:
12 ¿Quién es el hombre que desea vida? ¿Quién anhela años 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 del SEÑOR están
sobre los justos;
sus oídos están atentos a su clamor.
16 El rostro del SEÑOR está
contra los que hacen mal
para cortar de la tierra su memoria.
17 Clamaron los justos,
y el SEÑOR los oyó;
los libró de todas sus angustias.
18 Cercano está el SEÑOR
a los quebrantados de corazón;
él salvará a los contritos de espíritu.
19 Muchos son los males del justo,
pero de todos ellos lo librará
el SEÑOR.
20 Él guardará todos sus huesos;
ni uno de ellos será quebrantado.
21 Al impío le matará la maldad,
y los que aborrecen al justo
serán desolados.
22 El SEÑOR redimirá el alma
de sus siervos.
No serán desolados cuantos
confían en él.
