Psalms 37:37-39 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Mark the perfect man, &c. Behold now a very different character, a man who is upright before God, who sincerely desires and endeavours to please and glorify him, and therefore makes it his care to walk in his ordinances and commandments blameless: mark him, keep your eye upon him, and observe the issue of his course and conversation. For the end of that man is peace Though he may meet with troubles in his way; though his days may be long, dark, and cloudy; yet all shall end well with him; he shall be happy at last. But the transgressors shall be destroyed together Or, alike, one as well as another, all without any exception or respect of persons. The end of the wicked shall be cut off That is, he shall be cut off at last, or in the end. His prosperity shall end in destruction. But the salvation of the righteous is of the Lord And therefore it shall certainly come to and be conferred upon them.
