The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

The good man's directory. This is a very remarkable psalm. Its theme is one throughout its entire length. Yet it is not so much drawn out consecutively as repeated proverbially. This may be partly accounted for by its alphabetical structure. £ There is no advance between the verses at the commencement and those at its close, but rather a remarkable variety of beautiful turns of expression to a thought that is the same throughout. The whole psalm may be summed up thus: "Just now, you see... read more

Two pictures. The psalmist says, at Psalms 37:25 , "I have been young, and now am old . " We may regard him therefore as speaking in this psalm with the fulness of knowledge and the confidence of ripened wisdom. His old experience has attained to prophetic strain. Let us consider two pictures. I. THE EVILS OF ENVY . It is common. It takes its rise and works upon the lower part of our nature, blinding our minds, perverting our hearts, and stirring up all our evil passions.... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:7-11

Confidence in God. The text of the whole psalm is in the first two verses. We are not to be discouraged in the service of God by the prosperity of the wicked; for it is more apparent than real, and is a short-lived prosperity. At the seventh verse the psalm takes a fresh start from the same key-note. I. SILENT TRUST IN GOD , WAITING FOR HIM , IS THE ONLY TRUE SOLUTION OF THE DIFFICULTY . ( Psalms 37:7 .) Do not vainly argue the question; be silent to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:9

For evil-doers shall be out off . It is foolish to "fret" and rage and storm against the ungodly whom we see prospering, since they will certainly be "cut off " sooner or later—sooner rather than later, according to the belief of the writer (see Psalms 37:2 , Psalms 37:10 ). But those that wait upon the Lord (see Psalms 37:7 ), they shall inherit the earth. It is doubly foolish, since when the wicked are "cut off," as they will be assuredly some day, the godly will find themselves... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:10

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be (compare the comment on Psalms 37:2 ). Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be; or, he shall not be . He shall have been swept away; his "place shall know him no more" ( Psalms 103:16 ). read more

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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 37:9

For evil-doers shall be cut off - See Psalms 37:2. This will be the termination of their course. They shall not ultimately prosper. God will order all things in equity, and though such men now seem to be prosperous, and to be the objects of the divine favor, yet all this is temporary. The day of retribution will certainly come, and they will be dealt with as they deserve. The reference here probably is to judgment in this life, or to the fact that God will, as a general law, show his... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 37:10

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be - The thee will soon come when they shall pass away. The language “shall not be” cannot mean that they will cease to exist altogether, for the connection does not demand this interpretation. All that is intended is that they would be no longer on the earth; they would no longer live to give occasion for anxious thoughts and troubled feelings in the hearts of good people.Yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place - The place where he lived;... read more

But the meek shall inherit the earth - See the notes at Psalms 37:3. On the meaning of the word here rendered “meek,” see the notes at Psalms 9:12, where it is rendered “humble.” The word properly denotes those who are afflicted, distressed, needy; then, those who are of humble rank in life; then, the mild, the gentle, the meek. The term here is a general one to denote those who are the friends of God, considered as meek, mild, gentle, humble, in contradistinction from the wicked who are proud... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 37:9-11

Psalms 37:9-11 . For evil-doers shall be cut off Namely, from the earth, as appears by comparing this with the next clause, and with Psalms 34:16. Their end shall certainly be most miserable. 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
