Commentary on Psalms 37:9
The contrast is stark: evildoers 'cut off' versus those waiting on the LORD 'inherit the earth.' Jesus quotes this verse in the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:5), applying inheritance to 'the meek.' The Hebrew 'karat' (cut off) was used for covenant breaking and capital punishment—total removal. Inheriting the earth/land echoes Abrahamic covenant promises, now universalized to include all who trust God. This inheritance isn't immediate but eschatological, requiring patient endurance while evildoers seem to possess the earth presently.
