Psalm 37
1. David persuades to patience and confidence in God,
12. by the different estate of the godly and the wicked














(36) Yet he passed away.--This should be, And there went one by, &c. LXX. and Vulg. have, "And I passed by." (Comp. Prayer Book version.)

Verse 36. - Yet he passed away, and lo, he was not (cf. Job 20:5; Psalm 73:19, 20). Yea, I sought him, but he could not be found. The sudden disappearance of an imposing personality astonishes and confuses us. We cannot believe that one who has played so prominent a part in our drama of life is gone altogether. We look about for him; we expect him to reappear at any moment. We cannot realize the fact that he is vanished for ever. We ask ourselves, "Where is he?' (Job 20:7).
