Commentary on Psalm 34:11 (Summary)

Psalm 34:11 (ESV)

11 Come, O children, listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the LORD.

The use of the words children or sons is common in wisdom literature. Clearly, the adults are also addressed here (see Psalm 34:12). The relationship of a teacher to his pupil is compared to that of a father to his son. David was like a father to the refugees in the cave, calling on the people to listen to him as he teaches them about the Lord.
