Psalms 34:12

Who is the man who loves life,
who desires to see many days and enjoy prosperity?
[The thirteenth Hebrew letter is: מ – Mem. The character depicts water and stands for water, people, nations, and languages. In this verse, the word "Who" begins with this letter. It reinforces the question of whether there is anyone among all people who wants to live life to the fullest? The previous verse spoke of revering the Lord (Yahweh). This verse shows that true godliness does not limit, but rather is the path to true joy.]
