The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
All Commentaries on Psalms 34:10 Go To Psalms 34
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Rich of this world, (1 Timothy vi. 17.; Menochius) are often poor in spiritual gifts. (Worthington)
Those who are poor in both respects, are truly miserable, (Haydock) since they cannot satisfy their craving appetite. But the prophet admires those who are poor in spirit, whether they have many possessions or not. (Berthier)
The fear of the Lord is his treasure, Isaias xxxiii. 6. The saint is content under every dispensation of Providence. (Haydock)
Lazarus was truly rich even here; and in heaven he is covered with glory, Luke xvi. 20. (St. Jerome) (Calmet)
Hebrew, "the lions have wanted. "(St. Jerome)
This may have been the case: yet those who fear God shall be filled; or, the rich may be designated by the name of lion's whelps, on account of their power and avidity. (Calmet)
The same term, cephirim, is often applied to men in power, Ezechiel xix 2., and Job iv. 10. (Berthier)
Good. If the saints be sometimes deprived of provisions, they know that it is better for them; as God directs all for their good. (Haydock)
