Salmi 34
Nuova Riveduta 1994
Espressioni di lode per la liberazione
34 (A)Di *Davide, quando si finse pazzo davanti ad Abimelec e, scacciato da lui, se ne andò.
Io benedirò il Signore in ogni tempo;
la sua lode sarà sempre nella mia bocca.
2 Io mi glorierò nel Signore;
gli umili l'udranno e si rallegreranno.
3 Celebrate con me il Signore,
esaltiamo il suo nome tutti insieme.
4 Ho cercato il Signore, ed egli m'ha risposto;
m'ha liberato da tutto ciò che
m'incuteva terrore.
5 Quelli che lo guardano sono
illuminati,
nei loro volti non c'è delusione.
6 Quest'afflitto ha gridato, e il Signore l'ha esaudito;
l'ha salvato da tutte le sue disgrazie.
7 L'angelo del Signore si accampa
intorno a quelli che lo temono,
e li libera.
8 Provate e vedrete quanto il Signore
è buono[a]!
Beato l'uomo che confida in lui.
9 Temete il Signore, o voi che gli siete consacrati,
poiché nulla viene a mancare a quelli
che lo temono.
10 I leoncelli soffrono penuria e fame,
ma nessun bene manca a quelli che
cercano il Signore.
11 Venite, figlioli, ascoltatemi;
io v'insegnerò il timor del Signore.
12 Chi è l'uomo che desidera la vita
e che brama lunghi giorni per poter
gioire del bene?
13 Trattieni la tua lingua dal male e
le tue labbra da parole bugiarde.
14 Allontànati dal male e fa' il bene;
cerca la pace e adoperati per essa.
15 Gli occhi del Signore sono sui giusti
e i suoi orecchi sono attenti
al loro grido.
16 Il volto del Signore è contro quelli che fanno il male[b]
per cancellar dalla terra il loro ricordo.
17 I giusti gridano e il Signore
li ascolta;
li libera da tutte le loro disgrazie.
18 Il Signore è vicino a quelli che
hanno il cuore afflitto,
salva gli umili di spirito.
19 Molte sono le afflizioni del giusto;
ma il Signore lo libera da tutte.
20 Egli preserva tutte le sue ossa;
non se ne spezza neanche uno.[c]
21 La malvagità farà perire il malvagio,
quelli che odiano il giusto saranno
considerati colpevoli.
22 Il Signore riscatta la vita dei suoi
servi,
nessuno di quelli che confidano in lui
sarà considerato colpevole.

Of David. When he pretended to be insane(A) before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.
1 I will extol the Lord at all times;(B)
his praise will always be on my lips.
2 I will glory(C) in the Lord;
let the afflicted hear and rejoice.(D)
3 Glorify the Lord(E) with me;
let us exalt(F) his name together.
4 I sought the Lord,(G) and he answered me;
he delivered(H) me from all my fears.
5 Those who look to him are radiant;(I)
their faces are never covered with shame.(J)
6 This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
he saved him out of all his troubles.(K)
7 The angel of the Lord(L) encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers(M) them.

15 The eyes of the Lord(AA) are on the righteous,(AB)
and his ears are attentive(AC) to their cry;

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.

Psalm 34
Living Bible
34 I will praise the Lord no matter what happens. I will constantly speak of his glories and grace.[a] 2 I will boast of all his kindness to me. Let all who are discouraged take heart. 3 Let us praise the Lord together and exalt his name.
4 For I cried to him and he answered me! He freed me from all my fears. 5 Others too were radiant at what he did for them. Theirs was no downcast look of rejection! 6 This poor man cried to the Lord—and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles. 7 For the Angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence him.
8 Oh, put God to the test and see how kind he is! See for yourself the way his mercies shower down on all who trust in him. 9 If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs. 10 Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those of us who reverence the Lord will never lack any good thing.
11 Sons and daughters, come and listen and let me teach you the importance of trusting and fearing the Lord. 12 Do you want a long, good life? 13 Then watch your tongue! Keep your lips from lying. 14 Turn from all known sin and spend your time in doing good. Try to live in peace with everyone; work hard at it.
15 For the eyes of the Lord are intently watching all who live good lives, and he gives attention when they cry to him. 16 But the Lord has made up his mind to wipe out even the memory of evil men from the earth. 17 Yes, the Lord hears the good man when he calls to him for help and saves him out of all his troubles.
18 The Lord is close to those whose hearts are breaking; he rescues those who are humbly sorry for their sins. 19 The good man does not escape all troubles—he has them too. But the Lord helps him in each and every one. 20 Not one of his bones is broken.
21 Calamity will surely overtake the wicked; heavy penalties are meted out to those who hate the good. 22 But as for those who serve the Lord, he will redeem them; everyone who takes refuge in him will be freely pardoned.

- Psalm 34:1 I will constantly speak of his glories and grace, literally, “His praise shall continually be in my mouth.”
Psalm 34
King James Version
34 I will bless the Lord at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth.
2 My soul shall make her boast in the Lord: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad.
3 O magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt his name together.
4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 They looked unto him, and were lightened: and their faces were not ashamed.
6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
8 O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him.
9 O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.
10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
11 Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.
12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
14 Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
15 The eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.
16 The face of the Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.
17 The righteous cry, and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles.
18 The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.
20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
21 Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
22 The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.
