Psalms 34:9
7 The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear Him, and he delivers them.
8 Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
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.
11 Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
