Psalms 37:9-10

Context

37:9 Wicked men 1  will be wiped out, 2 

but those who rely on the Lord are the ones who will possess the land. 3 

37:10 Evil men will soon disappear; 4 

you will stare at the spot where they once were, but they will be gone. 5 

1 tn Heb “for evil men.” The conjunction כִּי (ki, “for”) relates to the exhortations in v. 8; there is no reason to be frustrated, for the evildoers will be punished in due time.

2 tn Or “cut off, removed.”

3 tn Heb “and those who wait on the Lord, they will possess the land.”

4 tn Heb “and yet, a little, there will be no wicked [one].”

5 tn Heb “and you will carefully look upon his place, but he will not be [there].” The singular is used here in a representative sense; the typical evildoer is in view.
