1
A Psalm of David. Do not fret because of evildoers, Nor be envious of the workers of iniquity.
2
For they shall soon be cut down like 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
Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.

Psalms 37:1-4 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.
