neque in ira tua corripias me:
quoniam sagitt� tu� infix� sunt mihi,
et confirmasti super me manum tuam.
Non est sanitas in carne mea, a facie ir� tu�;
non est pax ossibus meis, a facie peccatorum meorum:
quoniam iniquitates me� supergress� sunt caput meum,
et sicut onus grave gravat� sunt super me.
Putruerunt et corrupt� sunt cicatrices me�,
a facie insipienti� me�.
Miser factus sum et curvatus sum usque in finem;
tota die contristatus ingrediebar.
Quoniam lumbi mei impleti sunt illusionibus,
et non est sanitas in carne mea.
Afflictus sum, et humiliatus sum nimis;
rugiebam a gemitu cordis mei.
Domine, ante te omne desiderium meum,
et gemitus meus a te non est absconditus.
Cor meum conturbatum est;
dereliquit me virtus mea, et lumen oculorum meorum,
et ipsum non est mecum.
Amici mei et proximi mei adversum me appropinquaverunt, et steterunt;
et qui juxta me erant, de longe steterunt:
et vim faciebant qui qu�rebant animam meam.
Et qui inquirebant mala mihi, locuti sunt vanitates,
et dolos tota die meditabantur.
Ego autem, tamquam surdus, non audiebam;
et sicut mutus non aperiens os suum.
Et factus sum sicut homo non audiens,
et non habens in ore suo redargutiones.
Quoniam in te, Domine, speravi;
tu exaudies me, Domine Deus meus.
Quia dixi: Nequando supergaudeant mihi inimici mei;
et dum commoventur pedes mei, super me magna locuti sunt.
Quoniam ego in flagella paratus sum,
et dolor meus in conspectu meo semper.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam annuntiabo,
et cogitabo pro peccato meo.
Inimici autem mei vivunt, et confirmati sunt super me:
et multiplicati sunt qui oderunt me inique.
Qui retribuunt mala pro bonis detrahebant mihi,
quoniam sequebar bonitatem.
Ne derelinquas me, Domine Deus meus;
ne discesseris a me.
Intende in adjutorium meum,
Domine Deus salutis me�.]

Gill's Notes on the Bible

[He is] ever merciful, and lendeth,.... He sympathizes with the poor in distress, and shows mercy to miserable objects; not only by words, but deeds: and this is his constant disposition and conduct; of which his lending, as well as giving to persons in necessity, is an instance; and which shows capacity, and is a proof of the observation of the psalmist, that such are never forsaken, nor left to beg their bread: so far from it, that they have to lend and give to others;

and his seed [is] blessed; either his seed sown, his alms deeds, which are blessed to him and his, and to them to whom he ministers, as Jarchi explains it; see 2 Corinthians 9:6; or rather his offspring, who are blessed of God with things temporal for his sake; and are blessed by men, who say of them, these are the posterity of such and such liberal persons.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

He is ever merciful - Margin, as in Hebrew, “all the day.” That is, it is his character; he is constantly in the habit of showing kindness. He does not do it at intervals, or only occasionally, but it is this that marks the character of the man. He is known by this. The word “merciful” here means kind, compassionate, benignant - and particularly in this respect, that he is willing to “lend” to others when he has the means.

And lendeth - The wicked man “borrows,” but does not pay again Psalms 37:21; the righteous man “lends” to his neighbor.

And his seed is blessed - His children; his posterity, as the result of this conduct on his part. The effect of what he does passes over from him to them, conveying rich blessings to them.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 37:26. He is ever merciful and lendeth — כל היום חונן kol haiyom chonen, "all the day he is compassionate." He is confirmed in the habit of godliness: he feels for the distresses of men, and is ready to divide and distribute to all that are in necessity.

And his seed is blessed. — The preceding words were not spoken casually; his seed, his posterity, is blessed; therefore they are not abandoned to beg their bread.
