Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 37:11

"But the meek shall inherit the land, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace." — Psalms 37:11 (ASV)

Shall inherit. — A repetition of Psalm 37:3. — Better, are heirs of the land, i.e., Canaan. Christ’s Beatitude (see Matthew 5:3, N. Test. Commentary) widens the promise and lifts it to a higher level. The quiet, unpretending, contented servant of God gets more true blessedness out of the earth, and so more truly possesses it, than the ungodly, though they are lords of broad acres.
