Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:25
25. I have been young, etc. Undoubtedly the psalmist here gives the result of personal observation as an old man. Have I not seen the righteous forsaken He gives the general law of providence, where the whole life is given to God. Not finally “forsaken,” though for a time he may be in temptation and want. read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:26
26. Ever merciful, and lendeth Literally, all the day he is merciful, and lendeth. With the Hebrews, where absolute poverty was the inevitable lot of the masses, (their population being estimated at about 6,000,000, on a territory about one third the area of New York State,) borrowing and lending had a more emphatic significance than with us; and this ability to lend implied competence, while the disposition and practice of daily beneficence are quoted as evidence and causes of... read more

27, 28. Dwell for evermore In Psalms 37:27-29 the reward of the righteous is three times set forth by two of the strongest words in the Hebrew language to express endless duration.

See also le’olam, to eternity, Psalms 37:18. It is no objection to the argument of duration that in Psalms 37:29 the righteous are said to “inherit the land” for ever, and that in Psalms 37:27, “dwell,” inhabit, has the same primary reference, for these are common Hebraistic forms for setting forth not only great prosperity,... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Psalms 37:23
23. Steps of a good man The word “good” is not in the original, and the word “man” denotes a mighty man; one who by physical strength and skill, or by wealth, office, or position, wields a power over others. Even such a man is dependent on God to order his steps; that is, to establish, make firm, the successive processes of his unfolding schemes of life. The admonition lies against the self-trust and self-boasting of the prosperous wicked, and for the encouragement of faith. This sense... read more
