God Sustains the Righteous
Commentators emphasize that God's promise to not let the righteous "famish" applies to both physical and spiritual needs. While believers may face hardship, God ultimately provides for their sustenance (Psalms 37:25). More importantly, as scholars like John Gill and Matthew Henry note, God ensures their souls are never starved of spiritual nourishment, feeding them with His word and presence.
