Salmos 34
1 Bendeciré a Jehová en todo tiempo; siempre será su alabanza en mi boca.
A psalm of David concerning the time he pretended to be mad in front of Abimelech who then sent him away. I will always bless the Lord; my mouth will continually praise him.
2 En Jehová se alabará mi alma; oirán los mansos, y alegrarse han.
From the bottom of my heart I am proud of the Lord; those who are humble will hear and be happy.
3 Engrandecéd a Jehová, conmigo; y ensalcemos su nombre a una.
Glorify God with me; together let's honor his reputation.
4 Busqué a Jehová, y él me oyó; y de todos mis miedos me libró.
I asked the Lord for help, and he answered me. He set me free from all my fears.

Children, listen to me! I will teach you how to respect the Lord.
12 ¿Quién es el varón que desea vida, qué codicia días para ver bien?
Who of you wants to live a long and happy life?
13 Guarda tu lengua de mal, y tus labios de hablar engaño.
Then don't let your tongue speak evil, or your lips tell lies.
14 Apártate del mal, y haz el bien; inquiere la paz, y síguela.

20 Guardando todos sus huesos; uno de ellos no será quebrantado.
He keeps them safe—not a single one of their bones will be broken.
21 Matará al malo la maldad; y los que aborrecen al justo serán asolados.
