Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt you to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, you shall see it. I. THE ADMONITION. 1. Wait on the Lord. Do you thus wait? Now, in the present time, and at all times? 2. Keep His way. This is beautifully connected with the former. Wait — and work. Wait — and walk. Get grace — and exercise it. II. THE PROMISE. 1. "He shall exalt thee to inherit the land." God is the source of all elevation and honour. 2. "When the wicked are cut off, thou," etc. And they will be cut off from all they enjoy here, and from all hope hereafter. And as the saint will see the destruction of the sinner, so the sinner will see the salvation of the righteous, and not partake of it. This must be a source to him of the keenest anguish, for it might have been his own. (W. Jay.)
