Commentary on Psalms 37:5

Theological / Devotional

Commit thy way. Literally, “roll thy way” (see on Ps. 22:8; cf. 1 Peter 5:7). The burden that is too heavy for us we may simply roll upon the Lord. David Livingstone is reported to have remarked that this verse sustained him at every turn of his course in life in Africa, as well as in England.

Trust. See on v. 3.

He shall bring it to pass. Heb. ‘aśah, simply, “he will perform,” or, “he will act” (RSV). The matter in which He will act is set forth in v. 6.
