Psalms 34:8

A church father on this verse
“As the nature of honey can be described to the inexperienced not so much by speech as by the perception of it through taste, so the goodness of the heavenly Word cannot be clearly taught by doctrines, unless, examining to a greater extent the dogmas of truth, we are able to comprehend by our own experience the goodnes…”
Basil of Caesarea, 4th c. — HOMILIES ON THE PSALMS 16:6 (PS 34)

In context

6Let their way be dark and slippery, And an angel of the Lord persecuting them.

7For without cause they have hidden for me their destructive snare: Without a cause they have reproached my soul.

— Psalms 34:8 —

9But my soul shall exult in the Lord: It shall delight in his salvation.

10All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to thee? Delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, Yea, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
