Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 37:21

21. The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again : but the righteous sheweth mercy and giveth.

Either through Covetousness and injustice; Or rather, because of that great penury into which God shall bring him, whilst the righteous is not onely provided sufficiently for himself, but hath abundance and to spare for others. For he is here Comparing the wicked and the righteous, not so much in their Vertues or moral Qualities, as in their outward Conditions, which also appears from the following Verse, which gives the reason of this.

Marginal references: Psal. 112. 9.
