Commentary on Psalms 37:5
The Hebrew 'galal' (commit/roll) suggests transferring a burden completely, like rolling a stone. This command couples total surrender ('commit thy way') with active trust, not passive resignation. The promise 'he shall bring it to pass' assures that God will accomplish what concerns the believer (Philippians 1:6). This verse echoes Proverbs 16:3 and anticipates Peter's exhortation to cast all anxiety on God (1 Peter 5:7). The wisdom psalm addresses the apparent prosperity of the wicked, offering trust in God's sovereignty as the antidote to fretting.
