See under Psalms 34:10, below, where this thought is repeated. "The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger" (Psalms 34:10). Some interpreters would see this as a metaphorical reference to the rich, or to the privileged of earth, but such a view is totally unnecessary.
These animals are often used metaphorically to represent strength, courage, and power.

"The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing."--Psalm 34:10. THE young lions are very strong; they are as yet in the freshness of their youth, and yet their strength does not always suffice to keep them supplied.
