Commentary on Psalms 37:11
Jesus directly quotes this verse in Matthew 5:5, making it foundational to understanding Kingdom values. 'Meek' (Hebrew 'anav,' humble, afflicted) doesn't mean weakness but strength under God's control—those who refuse self-assertion, trusting God's vindication. Inheriting the earth reverses worldly expectations where the aggressive seize possessions. The phrase 'abundance of peace' (Hebrew 'shalom,' wholeness, completeness) suggests comprehensive flourishing—not merely absence of conflict but positive blessing in all dimensions of life.
