Psalm 37:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:19

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time
Of affliction and persecution, or of old age, or in the day of judgment, when it will go ill with others; see ( 1 John 2:28 ) ;

and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied:
whether it is understood figuratively of a famine of hearing the word, or literally of a proper famine of bread and water: these God will provide for them, as he did for Elijah, and they shall be sure unto them, and therefore let them not fret nor envy.

Psalm 37:19 In-Context

17 The arms of the wicked will be broken, but the LORD supports the righteous.

18 The LORD is intimately acquainted with the lives of the blameless; their heritage will last forever.

19 They won't be ashamed in troubling times, and in a period of famine they will eat their fill.

20 But the wicked will die, the LORD's enemies will disappear— disappear like the beauty of a meadow—in smoke.

21 The wicked borrow and don't pay it back, but the righteous are generous and giving.
