This psalm praises God and encourages believers to seek Him. It describes how those who look to God will be radiant, their cries will be heard, and God will deliver them from their troubles. It references how Jesus on the cross fulfilled the prophecy that his bones would not be broken, showing God's faithfulness even in suffering. The reflection emphasizes that true faith comes from a place of humility, not radiance, and that God lifts the lowly up in His presence.

24. Reflexión Salmo 34, 1. "Bendeciré al Señor en todo tiempo, su alabanza estará siempre en mis labios." Salmo 34, 1.Es muy fácil bendecir al Señor cuando todo en nuestras vidas está o aparenta estar bien. Díficil, más no imposible, se nos hace cuando vemos que alguna situación no agradable de repente nos arropa o que todo a nuestro alrededor no está como quisieramos.Pero he aquí en dónde está parte del sentido de nuestra fe... creer! hermanos! creer!... y es solamente creyendo que podemos bendecir al Señor en todo momento; teniendo fe en el Dios de Israel, en el Dios de nuestro corazón, en el Dios del bendito madero es que pueden estar nuestros labios alabando a Dios..... alabandolo en medio de lo bueno y de lo malo, de la salud y de la enfermedad, de la paz y del sufrimiento, de la abundacia y de la carencia, del sentir y del no sentir.Dios siempre es fiel, es bueno y su misericordia es eterna... solamente tenemos que ir a los pies del Maestro, contarle sobre nuestras tribulaciones y Él, como Buen Pastor, nos guiará por el buen sendero, abrirá las puertas que otros tratarán de cerrar y nos llenará de su paz!
25. Reflection on Psalm 34Those who look to him are radiant.Sometimes the church gets so confused. Those who seek the Lord begin in humility and receive the joy of radiance in the Lord’s presence. But after a while we begin to think it is radiant people who seek the Lord. We begin to think that it was in the nature of those who seek the Lord to shine brightly and to know no shame. We have forgotten our humble state like the poor man who cried and the Lord heard him. It is not radiant people who seek the Lord. It is poor men who cry out to God and their faces reflect the brilliance of being brought in His presence.Near the end of this psalm we see a prophecy regarding the suffering of the one who “redeems the life of his servants. We are told that “He keeps all his bones; not one of them is broken.” This was the case with Jesus. Just today we read that He was crucified at the third hour and breathed his last at the ninth hour. Crucifixion was usually a very slow and painful death. In order to hasten suffocation, sometimes the executioners would break the legs of the crucified. Pilate, on the other hand, was surprised that Jesus was already dead. Thus, none of Jesus’ bones were broken, just as was said of Him in this psalm.
