For the LORD loves justice, and forsakes not his saints; they are preserved forever: but the descendants of the wicked shall be cut off.
All Commentaries on Psalms 37:28 Go To Psalms 37
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
Saints. Hebrew, "merciful ones. "He will free them from captivity. (Calmet)
Punished. This sentence seems to be improperly omitted in Hebrew, which otherwise neglects the letter a, as the Chaldean, Syriac, and St. Jerome do as well as a few copies of the Septuagint. The Roman edition with the Arabic and Ethiopic, reads amomoi ekdikethesontai, "the innocent shall be avenged "(Calmet) or "punished "which is inaccurately put for anomoi ekdiochthesontai, the wicked shall be punished, or "expelled "(Berthier) though Grabe prefers the former verb. (Haydock)
St. Cyril acknowledges both readings. (Calmet)
