Psalms 37:1-7

1 psalmus David in rememorationem de sabbato

2 Domine ne in furore tuo arguas me neque in ira tua corripias me

3 quoniam sagittae tuae infixae sunt mihi et confirmasti super me manum tuam

4 non est sanitas carni meae a facie irae tuae non est pax ossibus meis a facie peccatorum meorum

5 quoniam iniquitates meae supergressae sunt caput meum sicut onus grave gravatae sunt super me

6 putruerunt et corruptae sunt cicatrices meae a facie insipientiae meae

7 miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque ad finem tota die contristatus ingrediebar

Psalms 37:1-7 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.
