Psalms 37:19 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:19

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time
Of affliction and persecution, or of old age, or in the day of judgment, when it will go ill with others; see ( 1 John 2:28 ) ;

and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied:
whether it is understood figuratively of a famine of hearing the word, or literally of a proper famine of bread and water: these God will provide for them, as he did for Elijah, and they shall be sure unto them, and therefore let them not fret nor envy.

Psalms 37:19 In-Context

17 The power of those who are evil will be broken. But the LORD takes good care of those who do what is right.

18 Every day the LORD watches over those who are without blame. What he has given them will last forever.

19 When trouble comes to them, they will have what they need. When there is little food in the land, they will still have plenty.

20 But sinful people will die. The LORD's enemies will be like flowers in the field. They will disappear like smoke.

21 Sinful people borrow and don't pay back. But those who are godly give freely to others.
