A Psalm of David. 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.
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.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

New Defender's Study Bible Notes

37:3 Trust in the LORD. Note the progression in Psalm 37:3-7 with respect to our growth in the Lord. (1) “Trust in the LORD” (Psalm 37:3); (2) “Delight thyself also in the LORD”( Psalm 37:4); (3) “Commit thy way unto the LORD” (Psalm 37:5); (4) “Rest in the LORD”( Psalm 37:7).


37:3 verily thou shalt be fed. The Hebrew word here for “verily” is also translated “truth.” For example, “all His works are done in truth” (Psalm 33:4). It is said here that God’s people will be fed not just with bread; more importantly, God shall feed them with His truth! The unbeliever, on the other hand, feeds on spiritual “ashes” and “wind” (Isaiah 44:20; Hosea 12:1), and even “wormwood” and “gall” (Jeremiah 23:15).
