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 ) .
