诗篇 37:38 RCUVSS

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Psalms 37:34-40

The psalmist's conclusion of this sermon (for that is the nature of this poem) is of the same purport with the whole, and inculcates the same things. I. The duty here pressed upon us is still the same (Ps. 37:34): Wait on the Lord and keep his way. Duty is ours, and we must mind it and make conscience of it, keep God's way and never turn out of it nor loiter in it, keep close, keep going; but events are God's and we must refer ourselves to him for the disposal of them; we must wait on the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:38

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together ,.... This is to be understood of obstinate and continued transgressors, who live and die in their transgressions; see Proverbs 11:3 ; otherwise all men are transgressors in Adam, and sinned and fell with him in his transgression; and are justly called transgressors from the womb; and are guilty of actual transgressions, nor are any clear from them; and are arraigned, convinced, and judged by the law as transgressors; and for many of these... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

The psalm is wholly didactic. It begins with exhortation, which is carried on through five stanzas to the end of Psalms 37:9 . Exhortation then gives place to calm and unimpassioned instruction, of a character resembling that which makes up the bulk of the Book of Proverbs. This tone continues to the end of verse 33, when there is a return to exhortation, but exhortation (verses 34, 37) mingled with instruction (verses 35, 36, 38-40). The whole poem is grave, quiet, equable, devoid of... read more

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

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 37:27-40

Evil-doers. Evil-doers are not truly objects of envy. The more closely we contemplate this, the more clearly do we see their baseness. But it is needful that we should be urged to this salutary duty. Again and again in this psalm is the exhortation addressed to us to consider and judge rightly, to cease from evil and learn to do well. And there are good and weighty reasons given why we should have no part with evil-doers. I. THEIR CHARACTER IS ODIOUS . II. THEIR ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Psalms 37:38

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together (comp. Psalms 37:2 , Psalms 37:9 , Psalms 37:10 , Psalms 37:15 , Psalms 37:20 , and Psalms 37:34 ). The end of the wicked shall be cut off . If acharith be taken to mean "posterity" in the preceding verse, it must be given the same signification here. read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Psalms 37:38

But the transgressors - Sinners; violators of the law of God.Shall be destroyed together - The word “together” here - יחדּו yachedâh - means properly “a union of them;” then, together - either:(a) in one place, Genesis 13:6 - or(b) at one time, Psalms 4:8; or(c) all as one, Psalms 14:3 - or(d) mutually with one another, as when men strive together, Deuteronomy 25:11.The idea here is, that one would be destroyed as well as another; that there would be no exception; that they would go to the... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Psalms 37:37-39

Psalms 37:37-39. Mark the perfect man, &c. Behold now a very different character, a man who is upright before God, who sincerely desires and endeavours to please and glorify him, and therefore makes it his care to walk in his ordinances and commandments blameless: mark him, keep your eye upon him, and observe the issue of his course and conversation. For the end of that man is peace Though he may meet with troubles in his way; though his days may be long, dark, and cloudy; yet all... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:1-40

Psalms 37:0 Opposite destiniesThis psalm is an acrostic and a wisdom poem. (Concerning acrostics see notes on Psalms 9:0 and 10. Concerning wisdom literature see introductory notes to Job.) Other wisdom poems are found in Psalms 10:14, 19, 49, 73 and 112.On seeing how wicked people prosper, believers may be tempted to envy them or, worse still, to doubt God’s goodness. The reminder given in this psalm is that no one should judge by outward appearances. The prosperity of worthless people will be... read more
