Geneva Study Bible - Psalms 37:12

37:12 {i} The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.(i) The godly are assured that the power and craft of the wicked will not prevail against them, but fall on their own necks and therefore should patiently abide God’s time, and in the meanwhile bewail their sins, and offer up their tears as a sacrifice of their obedience. read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

Psalms 25:0 In the Hebrew this prayer is arranged as an acrostic, i.e., the first word of each verse begins with a letter in alphabetical order from A-to-Z. Hereafter we shall not give as much attention to every psalm as we have thus far, but trust the reader to do the analyzing after the examples given. The purpose of this book is not so much textual explanation as a stimulus to Bible study in a broader sense, and it is assumed that the reader has been studying the Bible side by side with the... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Psalms 37:1-40

A Faithful Witness Psalms 37:0 Do we not say that there are some subjects upon which only men of experience are qualified to speak? Is that law in the marketplace, in the court of justice, in the family circle? Surely it ought to be. It seems to be charged with reason which the very dullest eye can instantly perceive. Are there not some subjects with regard to which, as to their exposition and application, nearly everything depends upon the character of the expositor and the witness? In some... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 37:12-15

What an awful day of God will this be. Reader! if you look into the world, and behold the proud man's scorn, and the poor man's oppressed circumstances, recollect what is here said: The day is coming. Man hath seemingly his day. But the Lord certainly hath his. And oh! what woe, what accumulated woe to the wicked, when God riseth up in judgment. read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:12

Have. Hebrew, "over-against my wound (Haydock) or leprosy." (Calmet) Protestants, "stand aloof from my sore." (Haydock) --- But the original means rather "near to." Septuagint may have read u for i, in nighi. (Berthier) --- But Symmachus and St. Jerome translate, "stood against my leprosy, (Haydock) and my neighbour stood at a distance;" as if they had been afraid of the contagion. Job (xix. 13, 19.) makes the same complaints. (Calmet) --- These manners of worldlings may be seen in every... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:7-20

7-20 Let us be satisfied that God will make all to work for good to us. Let us not discompose ourselves at what we see in this world. A fretful, discontented spirit is open to many temptations. For, in all respects, the little which is allotted to the righteous, is more comfortable and more profitable than the ill-gotten and abused riches of ungodly men. It comes from a hand of special love. God provides plentifully and well, not only for his working servants, but for his waiting servants. They... read more

Paul E. Kretzmann

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Psalms 37:1-40

The Apparent Good Fortune of the Godless Compared with the Believers' True Happiness. A psalm of David, rightly considered one of the most beautiful written by him, called by Luther the garment of the pious, bearing the inscription: "Here is the patience of the saints," Revelation 14:12. v. 1. Fret not thyself, with excitement and anger, because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity, being vexed by their apparent good fortune and prosperity. v. 2. For they... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Psalms 37:1-40

Psalms 37:0A Psalm of David1 Fret not thyself because of evil doers,Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.2 For they shall soon be cut down like the grass,And wither as the green herb.3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;So shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.4 Delight thyself also in the Lord;And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.5 Commit thy way unto the Lord;Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.6 And he... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 37:1-17

a Sure Cure for Fretting Psalms 37:1-17 This is an acrostic psalm, grappling with the problem of the inequality of human life and the apparent failure of God to reward His servants and punish His enemies as they deserve. Life and immortality, where we know that the balance will be readjusted, had not then been brought to light, and therefore the solution was far harder before the advent of our Lord than for us. But though the psalmist’s solution is therefore not complete, his teaching of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Psalms 37:1-40

This psalm has as its keynote "Fret not." The underlying problem is the prosperity of evil men. It is an astonishment and a perplexity still, troubling many a tried and trusting heart. The psalmist first declares that all such prosperity is short-lived and then tells the secrets of quietness in spite of the problem. There are first positive injunctions. They may be grouped' thus: "Trust in Jehovah," "Delight in Jehovah," "Commit thy way unto Jehovah," ''Rest in Jehovah." Then again the... read more
