Psalm 37 is a lovely Psalm, it was written by David, a man after God's heart, yet a man for all that, so let us consider it , we will start at the very beginning. v 1- 2.
Don't worry about the wicked or envy those who do
wrong. For like grass, they soon fade away. Like
spring flowers, they soon wither.
Psalm 73 deals with this also, there the writer is deeply disturbed when he saw how the ungodly were prospering, so much so that he envied them, they didn't appear to have the troubles that the godly have. It was not until he sought God, that the cloud lifted, like v1-2 of Psalm 34 v 1-2 ,he is reminded of there end, it will come, 73 v 18 ,reads God places them on slippery ground, and causes them to be cast down to ruin. Envy no one, especially the wicked, Herbert Lockyer writes,' Why envy the wicked, when the candle flickers into everlasting darkness'. Some translation use the word fret, instead of worry, they say that fret means ,'burn not thyself with grief or anger, I occasionally get angry, and sad, when I see how money grabbing rascals are taking advantage of refugees, their time will come, of that I am sure.
