Gill's Notes on the Bible
But the meek shall inherit the earth,....
:-; of this character
:-. Our Lord seems to refer to this passage in Matthew 5:5;
and shall delight themselves is the abundance of peace; of spiritual peace enjoyed in a way of believing, arising from a comfortable view of interest in the blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ; and of all happiness and prosperity in the kingdom of Christ here on earth, at which time there will be abundance of peace, Psalms 72:7; or of eternal peace in the world to come, which will be a state of uninterrupted and unspeakable peace; see Psalms 37:37; all which afford inconceivable delight and pleasure; and therefore such have no need to fret and be envious at the fading happiness of wicked men.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
But the meek shall inherit the earth - See the notes at Psalms 37:3. On the meaning of the word here rendered “meek,” see the notes at Psalms 9:12, where it is rendered “humble.” The word properly denotes those who are afflicted, distressed, needy; then, those who are of humble rank in life; then, the mild, the gentle, the meek. The term here is a general one to denote those who are the friends of God, considered as meek, mild, gentle, humble, in contradistinction from the wicked who are proud and haughty; perhaps also, in this connection, in contrast with the wicked as prosperous in life. It was probably this passage that the Saviour quoted in Matthew 5:5.
And shall delight themselves -
(a) Shall “prefer” what is here referred to as the source of their happiness, or as in accordance with the desires of their hearts;
(b) shall “find” actual delight or happiness in this.
Though not rich and prospered in this world as the wicked often are, yet they will have their own sources of enjoyment, and will find happiness in what they prefer.
In the abundance of peace - In abundant peace. In the tranquility and quietness in which they spend their lives, in contrast with the jealousies, the contentions, and the strifes which exist among the wicked even when prosperous. They will have peace with God Psalms 29:11; Psalms 85:8; Psalms 119:165; Romans 5:1; they will have peace in their own consciences; they will have peace in the calmness of a quiet and contented spirit; they will have peace with those around them, as they have no passions to gratify, and no object to secure, which will excite the envy, or stir up the wrath, of others.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 37:11. But the meek — ענוים anavim, the afflicted, the poor Jewish captives.
Shall inherit the earth — ארץ arets, the land of Judea, given by God himself as an inheritance to their fathers, and to their posterity for ever. See Psalms 37:9.
