“O fear the Lord, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”
The psalmist exhorts those who fear the LORD to recognize that those who fear him experience lack of nothing. The phrase "those who fear the LORD" identifies the community of the faithful. The assertion that they "lack nothing" suggests that God's provision is comprehensive and sufficient. The verse promises material and spiritual abundance to those who maintain proper relationship with God. The apparent promise that the righteous lack nothing suggests that the poverty mentioned here may be spiritual.
