Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
not want any good--"good" is emphatic; they may be afflicted (compare Psa 34:10); but this may be a good (Co2 4:17-18; Heb 12:10-11).
John Gill Bible Commentary
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger,.... According to Apollinarius, "the needy rich, whom famine presses;'' see Job 4:10; but they that seek the Lord; by prayer, diligently, with their whole heart, and in the sincerity of their souls; the Targum is, "that seek the doctrine of the Lord"; that seek instruction from him, and to be taught by him: these shall not want any good thing: which God has purposed to bestow upon them, which he has promised unto them, and provided for them; nor any thing that shall be for their good.
Taste and See That the LORD Is Good
9Fear the LORD, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing. 10Young lions go lacking and hungry, but those who seek the LORD lack no good thing. 11Come, children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
