Psalms 37:18-20 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

The Lord knoweth Observeth with singular care and affection; the days of the upright Their condition, and all things which do or may befall them; their dangers, and fears, and sufferings from ungodly men; and therefore will watch over them, and preserve them from all the designs and attempts of their enemies. Days, or years, or times, are often put for things done, or events happening in them. And their inheritance shall be for ever To them and their seed for ever: see Psalms 37:29. When they die the inheritance is not lost, but exchanged for one infinitely better. They shall not be ashamed For the disappointment of their hopes, but their hopes and desires shall be satisfied; as it follows. But the wicked shall be as the fat of lambs Which in an instant melteth before the fire. They shall consume into smoke Utterly and irrecoverably.
