10 The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry, but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
10 The young lions suffer want and hunger; but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.
10 Young lions on the prowl get hungry, but God-seekers are full of God.
10 The young lions lack and suffer hunger; But those who seek the Lord shall not lack any good thing.
10 Even strong young lions sometimes go hungry, but those who trust in the Lord will lack no good thing.
411
411 Blessed is the one who considers the poor!
411 Dignify those who are down on their luck; you'll feel good - that's what God does.
411 To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Blessed is he who considers the poor; The Lord will deliver him in time of trouble.
411 Oh, the joys of those who are kind to the poor! The Lord rescues them when they are in trouble.
(Read Psalm 41:1-4)
The people of God are not free from poverty, sickness, or outward affliction, but the Lord will consider their case, and send due supplies. From his Lord's example the believer learns to consider his poor and afflicted brethren. This branch of godliness is usually recompensed with temporal blessings. But nothing is so distressing to the contrite believer, as a fear or sense of the Divine displeasure, or of sin in his heart. Sin is the sickness of the soul; pardoning mercy heals it, renewing grace heals it, and for this spiritual healing we should be more earnest than for bodily health.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 34:10
Commentary on Psalm 34:1-10
(Read Psalm 34:1-10)
If we hope to spend eternity in praising God, it is fit that we should spend much of our time here in this work. He never said to any one, Seek ye me in vain. David's prayers helped to silence his fears; many besides him have looked unto the Lord by faith and prayer, and it has wonderfully revived and comforted them. When we look to the world, we are perplexed, and at a loss. But on looking to Christ depends our whole salvation, and all things needful thereunto do so also. This poor man, whom no man looked upon with any respect, or looked after with any concern, was yet welcome to the throne of grace; the Lord heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles. The holy angels minister to the saints, and stand for them against the powers of darkness. All the glory be to the Lord of the angels. By taste and sight we both make discoveries, and have enjoyment; Taste and see God's goodness; take notice of it, and take the comfort of it. He makes all truly blessed that trust in him. As to the things of the other world, they shall have grace sufficient for the support of spiritual life. And as to this life, they shall have what is necessary from the hand of God. Paul had all, and abounded, because he was content, Philippians 4:11-18. Those who trust to themselves, and think their own efforts sufficient for them, shall want; but they shall be fed who trust in the Lord. Those shall not want, who with quietness work, and mind their own business.
