5 1Commit your way to the LORD; 2trust in him, and he will act.
6 3He will bring forth your righteousness as the light, and your justice as 4the noonday.
7 5Be still before the LORD and wait patiently for him; 6fret not yourself over the one who 7prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices!

Psalms 37:5-7 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.
