“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing.”
The psalmist acknowledges that the young lions lack and suffer hunger but those who seek the LORD lack nothing good. The comparison emphasizes the contrast between the natural kingdom where strength determines survival and the spiritual realm where trust in God determines flourishing. The reference to young lions lacking suggests that even the strongest creatures experience want. The assertion that those who seek God lack nothing good emphasizes that while material circumstances may vary, those aligned with God will lack nothing of true importance.
