Psalms 34:5-7

_ _ God’s favor to the pious generally, and to himself specially, is celebrated.

_ _ looked — with desire for help.

_ _ lightened — or, “brightened,” expressing joy, opposed to the downcast features of those who are ashamed or disappointed (Psalms 25:2, Psalms 25:3).

Matthew Henry's Commentary
