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

Depart from evil, and do good,.... Depart from evildoers, and their evil ways; join not with them, nor fret and be envious at them; but do acts of beneficence, and all good works; since righteous men, and their seed, are not forsaken, but blessed of God;

:-;

and dwell for evermore; or "thou shalt dwell for evermore" z; see

Psalms 37:3; that is, in everlasting habitations, in the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens, Luke 16:9. The Targum is, "that thou mayest dwell in everlasting life".

z ושכן לעולם "et habitabis in seculum", Pagninus, Vatablus, Piscator; so Aben Ezra & Kimchi.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Depart from evil, and do good - This is the sum of all that is said in the psalm; the great lesson inculcated and enforced by all these references to the effects of good and evil conduct. All these results - all that people experience themselves, and all the effects of their conduct on their posterity, enforce the great practical lesson that we should do good and avoid evil. These results of conduct are among the means which God employs to induce men to do right, and to abstain from what is wrong.

And dwell for evermore - That is, dwell in the land: meaning (in accordance with the general drift of the psalm) that righteousness will be connected with length of days and with prosperity; that its effects will be permanent on a family, descending from one generation to another. See the notes at Psalms 37:3.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 37:27. Depart from evil, and do good — Seeing the above is so, depart from all evil-avoid all sin; and let not this be sufficient, do good. The grace of God ever gives this two-fold power to all who receive it; strength to overcome evil, and strength to do that which is right.

Dwell for evermore. — Be for ever an inhabitant of God's house. This may be also a promise of return to their own land, and of permanent residence there. See Psalms 37:9; Psalms 37:11, &c.
