David persuades to patience and confidence in God, 12. by the different estate of the godly and the wicked Do not fret The Hebrew word used here is "charah," which can mean to burn or be kindled with anger. In the context of Psalm 37:1, it suggests an emotional response of worry or agitation. The psalmist, David, is advising against allowing oneself to be consumed by anxiety or anger. This is a call to trust in God's sovereignty and justice, reminding believers that fretting is counterproductive and can lead to sin.

According to Aristotle, we have a special emotion implanted in our nature - νέμεσις - which causes us to "fret" when we witness undeserved prosperity ('Rhet.,' 2:9, § 1). Certainly the feeling is very common and very strong; it is also characteristic of the best natures (see Psalm 73:3-14; Job 21:7-15; Jeremiah 12:1, 2; Malachi 3:15). The feeling does not need to be eradicated, but only to be held in check. Faith in God's retributive justice will enable us calmly to await "the end" (Psalm 73:17), in full assurance that ultimately God's vengeance will overtake the wicked man, and he will receive condign punishment. Neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity. Envy is not a natural passion. To envy the evil-doers on account of their prosperity is at once a folly and a danger. Their position is really not enviable; and, if we allow ourselves to envy them, we shall be tempted to follow their example (see Proverbs 24:1).Parallel Commentaries ...
