Ps 37:1-40.
繁體中文
Original em inglês
Ps 37:1-40.
A composed and uniform trust in God and a constant course of integrity are urged in view of the blessedness of the truly pious, contrasted in various aspects with the final ruin of the wicked. Thus the wisdom and justice of God's providence are vindicated, and its seeming inequalities, which excite the cavils of the wicked and the distrust of the pious, are explained. David's personal history abundantly illustrates the Psalm.
1, 2. The general sentiment of the whole Psalm is expressed. The righteous need not be vexed by the prosperity of the wicked; for it is transient, and their destiny undesirable.

鑒於真實敬虔之人的福分——在各樣層面上與惡人最終的滅亡相對比——本篇勸勉人要平穩而持久地信靠神，並持守正直的道路。如此便為神護理的智慧與公義辯護，並解釋了其表面上的不均——這不均惹發惡人的挑剔，也引起敬虔者的疑慮。大衛的個人經歷充裕地印證了本篇。
1, 2. 全篇的要旨在此表達。義人不必因惡人的興旺而心懷不平；因那是短暫的，他們的結局也是不可羨慕的。
