This is our reason, delight, and rest in the Lord: that we can trust in His promise that the wicked will be removed from our path and we will be saved from their evil plans.
In this chapter, the psalmist speaks of the way of the wicked and the fate that awaits each of them. The wicked will not triumph over the righteous children of the Lord, for the hope of the righteous is in the hands of God.
It is very clear that the psalmist could see that even if the wicked prospered momentarily, this would not last forever, because David was convinced that they would soon be turned from their ways. Let us see what verse 10 of chapter 37 of the book of Psalms tells us:
For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;
Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,
But it shall be no more.
Psalm 37:10
The psalmist said, “In a little while, the wicked man will be no more.” Here we can see the confidence of this man, which was subject to every command given by God. Therefore, it was evident that the Lord would fulfill His promise to remove the wicked from his path.
In this chapter we can see the words that are addressed to men of wicked hearts. It speaks of the judgment that will fall upon all those who mistreat the righteous, who seek to make the righteous stumble. And it is for each of these things that the wicked will have his punishment.
Brothers, we must remember that the Lord is there for the thirsty soul, for the afflicted and for all those who, for Christ’s sake, suffer day by day. Do not forget that your help comes from God, just as it was for the psalmist.
