Psalm 34:11–22, “Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD. What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Depart from evil, and do good; seek peace, and pursue it. The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry. The face of the LORD is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth. The righteous cry, and the LORD heareth, and delivereth them out of all their troubles. The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all. He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken. Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate. The LORD redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.”

David was so grateful to the Lord for saving him, from the disaster that he had made for himself, that he encouraged the children to come and learn about the Lord while they were still young. He knew the importance of trusting the Lord as a child because he had trusted the Lord from his own childhood. He told the children of his day, and all who read this Psalm throughout the ages, how to fear the Lord. Essentially, they are encouraged to read the Lord’s book and follow the instructions that are written therein. Anyone who believes in the Lord is counted as righteous and the Lord covers them with the envelope of His care. The righteous trust the Lord and the Lord is trustworthy and faithful. It doesn’t matter how hard or how long the attacks are, the Lord is always close and we can enjoy the benefits of His goodness whenever we want to.
