Psalm 37:26 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:26

[He is] ever merciful, and lendeth
He sympathizes with the poor in distress, and shows mercy to miserable objects; not only by words, but deeds: and this is his constant disposition and conduct; of which his lending, as well as giving to persons in necessity, is an instance; and which shows capacity, and is a proof of the observation of the psalmist, that such are never forsaken, nor left to beg their bread: so far from it, that they have to lend and give to others;

and his seed [is] blessed;
either his seed sown, his alms deeds, which are blessed to him and his, and to them to whom he ministers, as Jarchi explains it; see ( 2 Corinthians 9:6 2 Corinthians 9:10 ) ; or rather his offspring, who are blessed of God with things temporal for his sake; and are blessed by men, who say of them, these are the posterity of such and such liberal persons.

Psalm 37:26 In-Context

24 wenn er fällt, wird er nicht hingestreckt werden, denn Jehova stützt seine Hand.
25 Ich war jung und bin auch alt geworden, und nie sah ich den Gerechten verlassen, noch seinen Samen nach Brot gehen;
26 den ganzen Tag ist er gnädig und leiht, und sein Same wird gesegnet sein.
27 Weiche vom Bösen und tue Gutes, und bleibe ewiglich!
28 Denn Jehova liebt das Recht und wird seine Frommen nicht verlassen; ewig werden sie bewahrt, aber der Same der Gesetzlosen wird ausgerottet.
