Psalms 34:11
9 Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing.
10 Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing.
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?
13 Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
