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'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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:1-9

1). The Wise Thing To Do Is Not To Fret When The Wicked Appear To Prosper, But Rather To Trust And Rest In YHWH (Aleph to Waw - Psalms 37:1-9 ) . Those who are wise will not allow fretting or anger to possess them in the face of the behaviour of the unrighteous, but will instead trust in YHWH, commit their way to Him, and then confidently rest in Him, for they can know that what they have is permanent, while what the unrighteous have is temporary and will pass away (compare Matthew 6:19-20).... 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

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 37:8

Cease from anger; either against the sinner for his success; or against God for so disposing of things, as Jonah Was, Jonah 4:1. To do evil; or, at least so far as to do evil. If any such anger or grief do secretly arise in thee, take care that it do not transport thee, either to reproach or distrust God’s providence, or to the dislike of his ways, or to an approbation or imitation of the wicked practices of those men in hopes of the same success. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Psalms 37:9

Shall be cut off, to wit, from the earth, by comparing this with the next clause, and with Psalms 34:16. Their end shall certainly be most miserable. Shall inherit the earth, according to God’s promise oft made to such; which also for the most part was literally fulfilled in that state of the church; and if it was not, it was fulfilled with far greater advantage in spiritual and eternal blessings. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

INTRODUCTIONThis psalm was probably written by David in his old age, and contains his experience in reference to the providential dealings of God with men. It acknowledges the transient prosperity of the wicked, but places in sublime contrast therewith the confidence and destiny of the good, and proves clearly that the latter have little cause to envy the former. It is folly to envy a man because be is clothed in the garb of a king; he may, after all, be only a pauper in disguise.THE TRANSIENT... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:3-9

Psalms 37:3-9 God is building up a kingdom that is invisible a kingdom of holy thoughts, of pure feelings, of faith, of hope, of righteousness. God's kingdom is advancing surely, though it advances slowly, and though it is invisible to us. Here then is the foundation of our faith, our hope, our patient waiting. We are to rest on the fact that God is carrying on a work in this world; that He never forgets that work; that He never lets it lag or linger; that it is ever going forward, though we... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 37:1-40

Psalms 37:1 . Fret not thyself, be not angry or irritated, because of evil doers. Let the consummate courtier gain elevation, let the merchant aggrandize his family, and the rich men buy the lands of the poor: the triumphing of the wicked is short. The peerage shall soon be extinct, and the mansion come to the hammer. Psalms 37:3 . Dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Hebrews Dwell in the land, and feed on the truth. Then the Lord will be to thee a satisfying portion,... read more
