Psalms 37:5 - Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Commit thy way unto the Lord - Hebrew, gol, 'roll thy way upon Yahweh.' The image is of one rolling off from his own shoulders a burden which be is not able to bear, upon the shoulders of another, who is able to bear it (1 Peter 5:7; Psalms 55:22: also 22:10). As a "way" cannot be rolled as a burden, it must hero mean thy doing, thy undertakings, as explained in margin, Proverbs 16:3, 'Roll thy works upon the Lord.'

And he shall bring it to pass - what thou desirest to be done, but canst not do thyself.

Psalms 37:5

5 Commitb thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
