David teaches believers not to fret because of evildoers or envy those who prosper in wickedness, for their apparent success is temporary. Instead, the righteous are called to trust in the LORD, delight in Him, commit their way to Him, rest patiently in Him, and depart from anger. Throughout the psalm, David contrasts the passing end of the wicked with the enduring inheritance, peace, and preservation of the righteous who wait upon God. Psalms 37 is a steady call to faith, patience, meekness, and confidence in the LORD’s justice and salvation.
