22
for those blessed by the LORD shall possess the land, but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

The steps of a man are from the LORD, and he establishes him in whose way he delights;

though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong, for the LORD is the stay of his hand.

I have been young, and now am old; yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging bread.

Psalms 37:22-25 Meaning and Commentary
INTRODUCTION TO PSALM 37
\\<<[A Psalm] of David>>\\. This psalm, it is very probable, was written at the same time, and upon the same occasion, with the former; and describes the different states of good and bad men; and is full of exhortations, instructions, and advice to the people of God; intermixed with various encouraging promises. A late learned writer {h} thinks it was written for Mephibosheth's consolation under Ziba's calumny. {h} Delaney's Life of King David, vol. 2. p. 219.
