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

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 37:1

CONTENTS This Psalm is a psalm of instruction. It should seem that God the Holy Ghost was graciously pleased to make use of his servant the prophet's pen to give suitable information to the church, concerning the prosperity of the wicked, and the apparent distress of the righteous. A Psalm of David. read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 37:1-2

The prosperity of sinners, and the distresses of good men, have been in all ages a stumbling-block even to the faithful. The prophet Jeremiah puts it down as an undeniable conclusion, that God is righteous; but yet desires permission to make an humble inquiry wherefore the way of the wicked should prosper? Jeremiah 12:1 , etc. And Job's friends went upon no other conclusion in their ideas of Job's hypocrisy, but from the greatness of his calamities; Job 4:7-8 . We cannot therefore sufficiently... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 37:3-6

Reader! do not overlook, however, the person of Christ in what is here said; while the chief scope of the Psalm is to comfort his church, yet recollect that that comfort is, all in, and from Jesus. It is his righteousness which is said to be brought forth as the light. All our righteousnesses are as filthy rags. But he is made of God to us, wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption, that he that gloried may glory in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 1:30-31 ; Isaiah 64:6 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 37:7-10

Jesus is the rest wherewith the Lord will cause the weary to rest; and he that believeth in him will not (for he need not) make haste. Isaiah 28:12 . There is a great beauty in the thought of the transitory abode of the sinner. Even while looking upon him, or looking after him, he is gone. Psalms 103:15-17 . read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Psalms 37:11

The Reader will not forget that Jesus hath said the same, and pronounced a blessedness on the meek, Matthew 5:5 . But Reader! do not, by looking to the meekness of any follower of the Lord, overlook the source of it, and more especially the meek and lowly Jesus. Yea, Lord! I would pray to learn of thee; for thou art meek and lowly in heart. Matthew 11:29 . read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:1

For a remembrance, viz., of our miseries and sins; and to be sung on the sabbath-day. (Challoner) --- This sabbath might also allude to the indolent rest which occasioned the fall of David, 2 Kings xi. 1. (Haydock) --- Hebrew mentions not the sabbath; and it is not known (Calmet) why the Septuagint made this addition. The prophet may have Christ suffering for our sins in view, (Berthier) though he probably composed this psalm, when he was afflicted with an illness after this fall. (Rab. Muis,... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Psalms 37:2

Wrath. God is incapable of passion: but man deserves to be treated with the utmost rigour; and this David deprecates, begging that God would act rather like a physician in his regard. (Theodoret) (Calmet) --- The same petition occurs in psalm vi.; and this ought to caution people not to make imprecations, since God's judgments are so terrible. (Berthier) --- St. Augustine and St. Gregory explain this text of the fire of hell, and of purgatory, 1 Corinthians iii. 15. (Haydock) --- Though some be... read more
