James Gray

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 37:16-24

These verses are all so plain, that, as they need no explanation, so an attempt to do it would only enervate their own pure and decisive language. A little with Christ is beyond millions of riches without him. Reader I look diligently in all your enjoyments, whether Jesus be in them, and whether those enjoyments be real enjoyments, because of finding the Lord Christ in them. read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:21-33

21-33 The Lord our God requires that we do justly, and render to all their due. It is a great sin for those that are able, to deny the payment of just debts; it is a great misery not to be able to pay them. He that is truly merciful, will be ever merciful. We must leave our sins; learn to do well, and cleave to it. This is true religion. The blessing of God is the spring, sweetness, and security of all earthly enjoyments. And if we are sure of this, we are sure not to want any thing good for us... 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
