Psalms 37:10 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:10

For yet a little while, and the wicked [shall] not [be]
Not that they shall be annihilated or reduced to nothing, because nonentities have no place nor being any where; when they die they shall lift up their eyes in hell; their bodies will rise again at the last day; they shall stand before the judgment seat of Christ, and go into everlasting punishment; but they shall be no more in the world, and in the same flourishing and prosperous circumstances they were: and this their destruction will be in a short time, very quickly;

yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it [shall] not
[be];
his dwelling place, called after his own name, to perpetuate the memory of him; see ( Job 7:10 ) ( 20:9 ) ; an instance of this the psalmist gives of his own knowledge, ( Psalms 37:35 Psalms 37:36 ) .

Psalms 37:10 In-Context

8 Desist from anger, and forsake fury, Fret not thyself only to do evil.

9 For evil doers are cut off, As to those waiting on Jehovah, they possess the land.

10 And yet a little, and the wicked is not, And thou hast considered his place, and it is not.

11 And the humble do possess the land, And they have delighted themselves In the abundance of peace.

12 The wicked is devising against the righteous, And gnashing against him his teeth.
