Contextual Overview

⁷Be still before the LORD; wait patiently for Him and entrust yourself to Him; Do not fret (whine, agonize) because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. ⁸Cease from anger and abandon wrath; Do not fret; it leads only to evil. ⁹For those who do evil will be cut off, But those who wait for the LORD, they will inherit the land. ¹⁰For yet a little while and the wicked one will be gone [forever]; Though you look carefully where he used to be, he will not be [found]. ¹¹But the humble will [at last] inherit the land And will delight themselves in abundant prosperity and peace. ¹²The wicked plots against the righteous And gnashes at him with his teeth. ¹³The Lord laughs at him [the wicked one—the one who oppresses the righteous], For He sees that his day [of defeat] is coming. ¹⁴The wicked have drawn the sword and bent their bow To cast down the afflicted and the needy, To slaughter those who are upright in conduct [those with personal integrity and godly character]. ¹⁵The sword [of the ungodly] will enter their own heart, And their bow will be broken. ¹⁶Better is the little of the righteous [who seek the will of God] Than the abundance (riches) of many wicked (godless).

Gill's Notes on the Bible

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,.... Of affliction and persecution, or of old age, or in the day of judgment, when it will go ill with others; see 1 John 2:28;

and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied: whether it is understood figuratively of a famine of hearing the word, or literally of a proper famine of bread and water: these God will provide for them, as he did for Elijah, and they shall be sure unto them, and therefore let them not fret nor envy.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

They shall not be ashamed in the evil thee - In times of calamity and trouble. The word “ashamed” here refers to disappointment; as when one goes to a fountain or stream for water and finds it dried up. See Job 6:20, note; and Psalms 25:2-3. The idea here is, that when thees of trouble and calamity come, in seasons of famine or want, they will find their expectations, arising from confidence in God, fully met. Their wants will be supplied, and they will find him to be their friend.

And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied - Their needs shall be supplied. God will provide for them. See Psalms 37:25. This is in accordance with the general promises which are made in the Scriptures, that God will provide for the needs of those who trust in Him. See the notes at Psalms 37:3.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 37:19. They shall not be ashamed — They have expressed strong confidence in the Lord; and he shall so work in their behalf that their enemies shall never be able to say, "Ye have trusted in your God, and yet your enemies have prevailed over you." No; for even in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
