The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:11

But the meek shall inherit the earth. This prophecy is endorsed by our Lord ( Matthew 5:5 ). It has only had occasional fulfilment hitherto, notably in Moses, the meekest man of his day ( Numbers 12:3 ); to some extent in St. Louis and other great saints, whose influence has been world-wide, as St. Francis d'Assisi, St. Francis Xavier, St. Carlo Boromeo, and others. And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace. Being men of peace, the meek, when they "inherit the earth," will... read more

But those that wait, &c., shall inherit the earth According to God’s promise, often made to such; which also generally was literally fulfilled in that state of the church; and if in any instances it was not, it was fulfilled with far greater advantage in spiritual and eternal blessings. For yet... read more
