Psalms 37:27–33
Turn from evil and do good, for God loves justice and will not forsake His faithful; when His law is in Your heart, Your feet will not slip even when the wicked lie in wait.
27 Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever.
28 For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.
29 The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom. His tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart. None of his steps shall slide.
32 The wicked watch the righteous, and seek to kill him.
33 Yahweh will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.
Turn from evil and do good, for God loves justice and will not forsake His faithful; when His law is in your heart, your feet will not slip even when the wicked lie in wait.
To exhort the believer toward active ethical holiness and to provide assurance that internalized wisdom and divine justice serve as a total defense against the predatory intent of the wicked.
The Meek Inherit the Land as the Wicked Fade
Because the LORD will remove the wicked and give the future to the meek, His people must refuse fretting, trust Him, do good, and wait for His salvation.
