Matthew Poole and continuators on Psalms 37:3

3. Trust in the LORD , and do good , so shalt thou dwell in the land , and verily thou shalt be fed .

Depend upon God's Providence, and Promise for thy Protection and Sustentation: or their Infidelity is the Root of their wickedness.

Continue in the Practise of that which is good and well-pleasing to God.

(i. e.) Upon this Condition, shalt dwell safely and quietly in Canaan; as God had oft Promised. In the Hebrew it is, dwell in the Land, as if it were a Command, to abide in Canaan when Troubles come, and not to flee to the Philistins, or other Heathens for shelter, as he had foolishly done. But it is rather a Promise, by Comp. this with v. 27. 29. such Promises being oft expressed by Imperative Verbs put for Futures, as Gen. 12. 2. and 42. 18. Psal. 128. 6. Amos 5. 4.

Heb. Thou shalt be [illegible: 1+ letters]ed (i. e. every way provided for) in Truth, (i. e.) Truly or assuredly; Or, with, or by Faith, as this Word signifies. (i. e.) By thy trusting in the Lord, thou shalt Live by thy Faith, as is said, Habak. 2. 4.
