Psalms 34:10
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
9 Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Who is the man who delights in life, who desires to see good days?
