Psalms 34:5

Those who look up to him [in faith and prayer] shine [with joy, see Isa. 60:5],
and their faces will never be ashamed (lose their composure because of shame or confusion).
[The fifth Hebrew letter is: ה – He. The character depicts a person with outstretched hands. The meaning of the letter is to see, look, breathe, and to receive revealed insight into something great and important that has been pointed out. In this verse, it is the word for "those who see" that begins with this letter. This reinforces how important it is to have God's perspective.
The sixth Hebrew letter is: ו – Vav. The second part of verse 6 begins with Vav with the word "and" – so the letter is in the correct order, but not as a separate verse with two lines like all the other letters. It should be noted that in half of all 22 verses of the psalm, the second line begins with Vav, so it is not an unusual combination. See also the introduction to the psalm for a more detailed discussion.]
