Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 37:22

"For such as are blessed of him shall inherit the land; And they that are cursed of him shall be cut off." — Psalms 37:22 (ASV)

For those who are blessed by Him - They who are His true friends.

Shall inherit the earth - See Psalms 37:9.

And those who are cursed by Him - His enemies.

Shall be cut off -Psalms 37:9. This verse suggests a thought of great importance, beyond what had been suggested before. It is that, after all, the difference in the ultimate condition of the two depends on the question whether they have, or have not, the favor of the Lord. It is not on the mere fact of their own skill, but it is on the fact that the one has secured the divine favor, and that the other has not. It is not by mere human virtue, irrespective of God, that the result is determined; but it is that one is the friend of God, and the other not. This consideration will ultimately be found to be an essential element in all the distinctions in the final condition of mankind.
