“Indeed, forty years You provided for them in the wilderness and they were not in want;
Their clothes did not wear out, nor did their feet swell.

“They are wet with the mountain rains
And hug the rock for want of a shelter.

“Others have been with those who rebel against the light;
They do not want to know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.

“From want and famine they are gaunt
Who gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,

A Psalm of David.
The Lord is my shepherd,
I shall not want.

O fear the Lord, you His saints;
For to those who fear Him there is no want.

The young lions do lack and suffer hunger;
But they who seek the Lord shall not be in want of any good thing.

And you neglected all my counsel
And did not want my reproof;

There is one who scatters, and yet increases all the more,
And there is one who withholds what is justly due, and yet it results only in want.

Then your poverty will come as a robber
And your want like an armed man.

A man with an evil eye hastens after wealth
And does not know that want will come upon him.

He who gives to the poor will never want,
But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.

That I not be full and deny You and say, “Who is the Lord?”
Or that I not be in want and steal,
And profane the name of my God.

“I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until she pleases.”
