Psalms 37:3

3. Trust Opposed to “fret,” Psalms 37:1.

Do good The wickedness of men, and the apparently deranged state of things, should not lessen or discourage good works.

Shalt thou dwell in the land And so the virtuous and useful lives of God’s saints in all ages have been their chief protection against wicked rulers and oppressive laws. Proverbs 16:7; 1 Peter 3:13-16.

Verily thou shalt be fed Literally, and feed, or, subsist in faithfulness. The idea is, that they should live in the land and enjoy their common blessings in faithfulness, or by being faithful, trusting in God and adhering to his law parallel to Habakkuk 2:4, “The just shall live by his faithfulness,” quoted Romans 1:17 as, “The just shall live by faith.”
