Barnes's Proverbs 19:23 Bible Commentary
Shall abide satisfied - Better, one that is satisfied hath a sure abiding-place. The word "abide" has, most probably, here as elsewhere, its original sense of "passing the night." Even in the hour of darkness he shall be free from fear.
Wesley's Proverbs 19:23 Bible Commentary
19:23 Satisfied - Shall be fully contented with God's favour and blessing.
