The affirmation that the soul is satisfied as with fat and rich food, and that lips will praise God articulates the fulfillment and abundance that comes from encounter with the divine. The imagery of rich food suggests satisfaction and plenty; the meeting of spiritual hunger is described in sensual terms. The connection between satisfaction and the lips praising indicates that joy naturally leads to expression in worship. This verse articulates the transformative experience of meeting with God: depletion becomes abundance, hunger becomes satisfaction.
