Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 37:18

18. The LORD knoweth the days of the upright : and their inheritance shall be for ever .

Observeth with singular Care and Affection.

(i. e.) Their Condition and all things, which do or may besal them, their Dangers and Fears, and suffering from ungodly men; and therefore will watch over them, and preserve them from all the Designs and Attempts of their Enemies. Days or Years, or Times, are oft put for things done, or Events happening in them, as Deut. 32. 7. Psal. 31. 15. and 77. 5. and 143. 5. Isa. 63. 11.

To them and to their seed for ever: Comp. v. 29. And when they dye their inheritance is not lost, but exchanged for one infinitely better.
