BrLXX Μὴ ἐγκαταλίπῃς με Κύριε ὁ Θεός μου, μὴ ἀποστῇς ἀπʼ ἐμοῦ.
(Maʸ egkatalipaʸs me Kurie ho Theos mou, maʸ apostaʸs apʼ emou.)
Ps 37 This psalm elaborates on the problems posed in Ps 36: How should the godly respond to the reality of evil? When will the Lord bring justice? Why does he permit the wicked to destroy his created order? Psalm 37 offers clear responses that reduce the tensions of life (37:1-9, 34) and promise that the meek will have a future (37:10-11, 39-40). The alternating contrast between the godly and the wicked emphasizes the futility of folly (37:12-24, 27-33). The personal observations of the psalmist add a human touch (37:25-26, 35-38). He encourages viewing the inheritance of the land from a long-range perspective: The earth belongs to the Lord, who will give it to those he blesses—the lowly and godly who trust in him, put their hope in him, and follow him (see 37:9, 11, 22, 29, 34; see also Isa 57:13; Matt 5:5).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
will inherit the land
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when blessed,him inherit land and,cursed,him cut_off )

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive
those who are cursed by him
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when blessed,him inherit land and,cursed,him cut_off )

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
will be cut off
(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when blessed,him inherit land and,cursed,him cut_off )
