Psalms 37:33 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:33

The Lord will not leave him in his hand
Or power; but will in his own time deliver him from all the reproach, affliction, and persecution endures by him; as he will also deliver him out of all the temptations of Satan;

nor condemn him when he is judged;
by the wicked man: he will not join in the sentence, but reverse it, and condemn the tongue that rises up in judgment against him, and save him from him; see ( Psalms 109:31 ) ( Isaiah 54:17 ) ; nor will the Lord condemn him when he is judged by him at the hast judgment; but will acquit him before men and angels, and introduce him into his kingdom and glory.
