Psalms 37:4 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 37:4

2 For they shall soon be cut down ^alike the grass,
And wither as the green herb.

3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;
Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness.

4 ^aDelight yourself also in the Lord,
And He shall give you the desires of your ^bheart.

5 ^aCommit¹ your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him,
And He shall bring it to pass.

6 ^aHe shall bring forth your righteousness as the light,
And your justice as the noonday.

7 Rest in the Lord, ^aand wait patiently for Him;
Do not fret because of him who ^bprospers in his way,
Because of the man who brings wicked schemes to pass.

8 ^aCease from anger, and forsake wrath;
^bDo not fret—it only causes harm.

9 For evildoers shall be¹ cut off;
But those who wait on the Lord,
They shall ^ainherit the earth.

10 For ^ayet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, ^byou will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.

11 ^aBut the meek shall inherit the earth,
And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked plots against the just,
^aAnd gnashes at him with his teeth.

13 ^aThe Lord laughs at him,
For He sees that ^bhis day is coming.

14 The wicked have drawn the sword
And have bent their bow,
To cast down the poor and needy,
To slay those who are of upright conduct.

15 Their sword shall enter their own heart,
And their bows shall be broken.
