Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Evil cannot last. It is a feeble plant, like the grass and weeds which the mower’s scythe soon cuts down, and leaves to wither in the blazing sunshine.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; Make him thy delight, and take care that thou do really delight. Feel a fullness of joy in him.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb. It is very easy to cut down the grass with a sharp scythe; and when death takes down his scythe, and cuts down men as the mower cuts down the grass of the field, they fall, rank upon rank, to “wither as the green herb.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust in the LORD, and do good; There you have the secret of the active life of the Christian. The root of his activity lies in his faith: “Trust in the Lord.” The outward manifestation of his inner life is in the good that he does; and where there is this faith, proved to be living faith by good works, there follows the promise, — Psa_37:3. So...

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee like desires of thine heart. Here is a duty which is as much a pleasure as it is a duty, nay, it is even more a pleasure than a duty: “Delight thyself also in the Lord.” Here is a commandment to be...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust in the LORD, and do good; — These are two good things to go together, faith and good works: “Trust in the Lord, and do good;” — Psa_37:3. So shalt thou dwell in the land, Not merely on earth, but in the land of promise, the land which God has promised to his people. We dwell there by faith even now. Everywhere we find our God; and wherever...

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Because when the heart delights in God, then its desires are all such as God can safely grant. He does not say to every man, or even to every praying man, “I will give thee the desires of thine heart,” but “Delight thyself in the Lord,” and then he will.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Delight is a Christian’s duty. To sorrow, to mourn, to despair, — these belong not to the believer: “Delight thyself in the Lord.” Here is a river to swim in, Christians, plunge into it. Here is a bottomless abyss of delights, the person, the grace, the works, the...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. When all thine heart’s desires are fixed upon him because he is thine heart’s delight, then thou mayest give a loose rein to those desires without any fear that they will run away. When thine heart’s desires are of this sort, thou shalt have them, be they what...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Commit thy way unto the LORD; Give it up to him to rule it, and to guide thee and lead thee in every step. “Commit thy way unto the Lord.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. It is better to trust our character with God than with the ablest counselor. Scandal may pass over a fair name for a while and cloud it, but God is the avenger of all the righteous. There will be a...

Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Put the helm of your ship into the hand of the Almighty Pilot. Leave the guidance of your pilgrimage to him who has led many caravans across the desert aforetime, and who has never suffered any to perish. What an easy way this is; and yet how hard do we find it to...

Surely, if it is easy...

Commit thy way unto the LORD; You who are just now in trouble, you who are walking in a rough way, commit that trouble and that way to the Lord.

It does not need...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass. Give it over into God’s hands, and then confide in him as completely as a little child confides in its mother. “He shall bring it to pass.” It is quite certain that you cannot “bring it to pass,” so you will be wise if you leave it with him who can do what you cannot.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday. Leave your character with God; it is safe there. Men may throw mud at it, but it will never stick long on a true believer; it shall soon come off, and you shall be the more glorious for men’s slander.
