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�.]

Wait: Kawah, to wait, implies the extension of a right line from one point to another. The first point is the human heart; the line is its intense desire; and the last point is God, to whom the heart extends this straight line of earnest desire.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

Wait on the Lord,.... In the way of his appointments and ordinances; where may be learned the design of his providences, and of the prosperity of the wicked, and their end, Psalms 73:16; and in a providential way, for the performance of his promises, in which he never fails; and patiently bear whatever he is pleased to lay upon them; waiting for a deliverance out of every affliction, which will be in his own time. The Chaldee paraphrase

"trust in the word of the Lord;''

and keep his way: which he has pointed out in his word, and has directed his people to walk in; though tempted by Satan to turn aside to the right hand or the left; though wicked men reproach, persecute, and seek to pervert it; and though a narrow and rough way, yet keep constantly in it, in which there are both pleasure and profit; good comes of it, and in it peace is had, and the presence of God enjoyed;

and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: that is, shall raise out of a low and uncomfortable situation of life to a more comfortable one; or however, hereafter, to dwell in the new heavens and new earth, to reign with Christ upon his throne, and to enjoy the eternal inheritance;

when the wicked are cut off; as in Psalms 37:9;

thou shall see [it]; with joy and pleasure; not as exulting: in the destruction of the wicked, simply considered; but as the glory of divine justice is displayed therein; see Psalms 52:5.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Wait on the Lord - See the notes at Psalms 37:9. Let your hope be from the Lord; depend wholly upon Him; have such confidence in Him as to expect His gracious interposition in your behalf.

And keep his way - Or, walk in the path which He commands. Do not turn from that at any thee. Do not allow any temptation, or any opposition, to cause you to swerve from that path.

And he shall exalt thee to inherit the land - See Psalms 37:3, Psalms 37:9,Psalms 37:18.

When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it - This implies that they would certainly be cut off, and that the righteous would be permitted to see the result of a course of righteousness and one of wickedness. It is not necessarily implied that they would have any satisfaction in seeing the punishment of the wicked; but the meaning is, that they would be permitted to live so as to see that one course of life tended to secure the favor of God, and another to incur His displeasure; that there was an advantage in virtue and religion in this life; and the certainty that they would see this is adverted to as a “motive” for leading a life of piety. The result is so sure that a man may, if he live long, see it himself; and the fact that this is so should be an inducement for his leading a holy life. The psalmist proceeds, in Psalms 37:35-36, to illustrate this idea from his own observation.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Psalms 37:34. Wait on the Lord, and keep his way — This is the true mode of waiting on God which the Scripture recommends; keeping God's way-using all his ordinances, and living in the spirit of obedience. He who waits thus is sure to have the farther blessings of which he is in pursuit. קוה kavah, to wait, implies the extension of a right line from one point to another. The first point is the human heart; the line is its intense desire; and the last point is GOD, to whom this heart extends this straight line of earnest desire to be filled with the fulness of the blessing of the Gospel of peace.

And he shall exalt thee to inherit the land — If ye keep his way, and be faithful to him in your exile, he will exalt you, lift you up from your present abject state, to inherit the land of your fathers. See before, Psalms 37:9; Psalms 100:0; Psalms 37:11, c.

When the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.] They did see the destruction of the Babylonish king, Belshazzar, and his empire and it was in consequence of that destruction that they were enlarged.
