Footnotes
- Psalm 37:30 The wise man reveres the Lord and desires to do his will. God’s law is written on his heart (see Ps 40:9; Deut 6:6; Isa 51:7; Jer 31:33; Ezek 36:27). He speaks wisely (see Ps 49:4) and establishes peace (see Ps 36:7). Heart: see note on Ps 4:8. His steps do not waver: from the way of the righteous (see 1:6).
- Psalm 37:32 The righteous need not fear the machinations of the wicked, for the Lord has promised to come to their assistance. He gave Canaan to Israel and the earth to all who love him (see Isa 65:17-25; 66:22; Rev 21:1).
