Commentary on Psalms 34:5
Theological / DevotionalThey looked. Probably the “humble” of v. 2; possibly, men in general who have experienced God’s tenderness as had the psalmist. A number of Hebrew manuscripts, also the versions of Aquila and Jerome, and the Syriac, have the verb in the imperative “look ye.”
Were lightened. Or, “brightened up” (see 2 Cor. 3:18). “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face.” Nothing is more beautiful than the radiant countenance of a real Christian. When God looks our way, all the world is sunlit. A slight change in pointing makes the verb an imperative (see on “they looked,” v. 5), to be translated “beam ye [with joy].” The LXX also has the verb in the imperative.
