Psalm 37:2 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:2

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as
the green herb.
] Which in the morning looks green, pretty, and flourishing, and in the evening is cut down, and then fades away; see ( Psalms 90:5 Psalms 90:6 ) ; and so the wicked prosper and flourish for a while, and then they perish with all their honour, riches, and wealth; so that their happiness is a very short lived one, and therefore need not be envied and fretted at.

Psalm 37:2 In-Context

1 Psaume de David. Ne t'irrite pas contre les méchants; ne porte pas envie à ceux qui font le mal.
2 Car ils seront bientôt fauchés comme l'herbe; ils se faneront comme l'herbe verte.
3 Confie-toi en l'Éternel, et fais le bien; habite la terre, et fais de la vérité ta pâture.
4 Et prends ton plaisir en l'Éternel, et il t'accordera les demandes de ton cœur.
5 Remets ta voie à l'Éternel et te confie en lui, et il agira.
