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 37:31-40

I have not interrupted the progress of these verses from the same reason as before: they contain so many beautiful repetitions of the same unquestionable truth; the wicked shall not go unpunished, neither shall the faithful go unnoticed. But let the Reader take with him the cause of the good man's safety and security, as expressed in the last verses; namely, that the salvation of every believer is of the Lord. Jesus is their righteousness, and their hope, and their trust; and it is he that will... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:34-40

34-40 Duty is ours, and we must mind it; but events are God's, we must refer the disposal of them to him. What a striking picture is in ver. Psalms 37:35; Psalms 37:36, of many a prosperous enemy of God! But God remarkably blights the projects of the prosperous wicked, especially persecutors. None are perfect in themselves, but believers are so in Christ Jesus. If all the saint's days continue dark and cloudy, his dying day may prove comfortable, and his sun set bright; or, if it should set... read more

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

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

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Psalms 37:30-40

Steps That Shall not Slide Psalms 37:30-40 How dear this psalm has been to God’s saints! It has been peculiarly prized by them in all ages. Gerhardt has paraphrased it in his noble hymn: Give to the winds thy fears, Hope, and be undismayed. When banished from Berlin by the Elector, he turned into a small wayside hostelry, not knowing where to go. Seeing his wife greatly depressed, he turned to find comfort for them both in these verses, and the conception of his hymn broke upon him. That... 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

4). The Contrast Between The Behaviour And Destinies Of The Righteous and Of The Unrighteous (Tsade to Tau - Psalms 37:32-40 ). The Psalmist concludes his Psalm by making contrasts between the lives and destinies of the righteous and the unrighteous. Psalms 37:32-33 TS ‘The wicked watches the righteous, And seeks to slay him. YHWH will not leave him in his hand, Nor condemn him when he is judged.’ It is one of the traits of the unrightous that they cannot bear those who are ‘too righteous’.... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:1-40

XXXVII. An acrostic poem. Its object is to teach patience and hope. The pious Jews, the Hasidim of Psalms 4:3 * who observe the Law strictly, are at present poor and oppressed. They are to wait for the end, when God will separate the good from the bad and will recompense men according to their deserts. Psalms 37:1 agrees almost verbally with Proverbs 29:14. For the “ envy” intended, see Psalms 73:3. Psalms 37:4 a. Render as mg. Godly men find their delight in Yahweh because they do His... read more
