oye a los suyos cuando claman a él por ayuda;
los rescata de todas sus dificultades.

Salmos 34:17 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 34:17

[The righteous] cry
The word "righteous" is not in the original text, but is rightly supplied in our version, as it is in the Targum, and by Jarchi; and so Kimchi and Ben Melech observe, that these words are not to be connected with ( Psalms 34:16 ) , but with ( Psalms 34:15 ) ; and they are indeed an amplification of the last clause of it; and the cry of the righteous is meant, to which the ears of the Lord are open; though Aben Ezra thinks that these words are to be understood of them that do evil, and of their cry to the Lord, when they turn from their evil ways; but the former sense is best;

and the Lord heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles;
their inward troubles, through the workings of corruption in their hearts; through the violent assaults of Satan, the blasphemous thoughts he injects into them, and his solicitations of them to sin; and through divine desertions, and their outward troubles; through afflictions of body, losses of estate and friends, and the reproaches and persecutions of men; out of all these the Lord sooner or later delivers his people who cry unto him.

Salmos 34:17 In-Context

15 Los ojos del Señor
están sobre los que hacen lo bueno;
sus oídos están abiertos a sus gritos de auxilio.

16 Pero el Señor
aparta su rostro de los que hacen lo malo;
borrará todo recuerdo de ellos de la faz de la tierra.

17 El Señor
oye a los suyos cuando claman a él por ayuda;
los rescata de todas sus dificultades.

18 El Señor
está cerca de los que tienen quebrantado el corazón;
él rescata a los de espíritu destrozado.

19 La persona íntegra enfrenta muchas dificultades,
pero el Señor
llega al rescate en cada ocasión.
