诗篇 37:9-11 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 37:7-20

In these verses we have, I. The foregoing precepts inculcated; for we are so apt to disquiet ourselves with needless fruitless discontents and distrusts that it is necessary there should be precept upon precept, and line upon line, to suppress them and arm us against them. 1. Let us compose ourselves by believing in God: ?Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him (Ps. 37:7), that is, be well reconciled to all he does and acquiesce in it, for that is best that is, because it is what God has... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:9

For evildoers shall be cut off ,.... Though they flourish for a while, they shall be cut down like the grass or flower of the field, or they shall be cut off as branches from a flourishing tree; they shall be cut off from the earth, and rooted out of it by death or some desolating judgment; see Proverbs 2:22 ; and therefore not to be envied and fretted at; but those that wait upon the Lord shall inherit the earth ; such who attend his word, worship, and ordinances; obey his commands,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:10

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be ,.... Not that they shall be annihilated or reduced to nothing, because nonentities have no place nor being any where; when they die they shall lift up their eyes in hell; their bodies will rise again at the last day; they shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and go into everlasting punishment; but they shall be no more in the world, and in the same flourishing and prosperous circumstances they were: and this their... read more

John Gill

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:11

But the meek shall inherit the earth ,.... See Gill on Psalm 37:9 ; of this character See Gill on Psalm 22:26 . Our Lord seems to refer to this passage in Matthew 5:5 ; and shall delight themselves is the abundance of peace ; of spiritual peace enjoyed in a way of believing, arising from a comfortable view of interest in the blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ; and of all happiness and prosperity in the kingdom of Christ here on earth, at which time there will be... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:9

They shall inherit the earth - The word ארץ arets , throughout this Psalm, should be translated land, not earth; for it is most probable that it refers to the land of Judea; and in this verse there is a promise of their return thither. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:10

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be - A prediction of the destruction of Babylon. This empire was now in its splendor; and the captives lived to see it totally overturned by Cyrus, so that even the shadow of its power did not remain. Thou shalt diligently consider his place - ואיננו veeynennu , and he is not. The ruler is killed; the city is taken; and the whole empire is overthrown, in one night! And now even the place where Babylon stood cannot be ascertained. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:11

But the meek - ענוים anavim , the afflicted, the poor Jewish captives. Shall inherit the earth - ארץ arets , the land of Judea given by God himself as an inheritance to their fathers, and to their posterity for ever. See Psalm 37:9 . read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:9

Verse 9 9.For the wicked shall be cut off. It is not without cause that he repeatedly inculcates the same thing, namely, that the happiness and prosperity which the ungodly enjoy is only a mask or phantom; for the first sight of it so dazzles our senses, that we are unable to form a proper estimate of what will be its issue, in the light of which alone we ought to judge of the value of all that has preceded. But the contrast between the two clauses of the verse ought to be observed. First, in... read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:10

Verse 10 10Yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be. This is a confirmation of the preceding verse. It might well have been objected, that the actual state of things in the world is very different from what David here represents it, since the ungodly riot in their pleasures, and the people of God pine away in sickness and poverty. David, therefore, wishing to guard us against a rash and hasty judgment, exhorts us to be quiet for a little while, till the Lord cut off the wicked entirely,... read more

Spence, H. D. M., etc.

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

The psalm is wholly didactic. It begins with exhortation, which is carried on through five stanzas to the end of Psalms 37:9 . Exhortation then gives place to calm and unimpassioned instruction, of a character resembling that which makes up the bulk of the Book of Proverbs. This tone continues to the end of verse 33, when there is a return to exhortation, but exhortation (verses 34, 37) mingled with instruction (verses 35, 36, 38-40). The whole poem is grave, quiet, equable, devoid of... read more
