You would simply use GetAsync to retrieve the value saved to a particular key. If you want it to update when a key's value is changed, you could also use OnUpdate (However this is throttled, so it may not always update very quickly).
OnUpdate Example:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStoreName")
local connection = DataStore:OnUpdate("keyName", function(value)
script.Parent.Text = value
end)
connection:disconnect() -- Use this when you want it to stop checking for updates
GetAsync Example:
local DataStore = game:GetService("DataStoreService"):GetDataStore("DataStoreName")
script.Parent.Text = DataStore:GetAsync("keyName")
-- This is good if you want to load data when a player enters
