Jerome's Latin Vulgate (405)
span data-lang="lat" data-trans="jvl" data-ref="psa.37.1" class="versetxt"> Psalmus David, in rememorationem de sabbato. [Domine, ne in furore tuo arguas me,
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

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together,.... This is to be understood of obstinate and continued transgressors, who live and die in their transgressions; see Proverbs 11:3; otherwise all men are transgressors in Adam, and sinned and fell with him in his transgression; and are justly called transgressors from the womb; and are guilty of actual transgressions, nor are any clear from them; and are arraigned, convinced, and judged by the law as transgressors; and for many of these Christ died, and makes intercession; and who are converted, and turned from their transgressions; and these are pardoned, and saved, and not destroyed: but stubborn and perverse transgressors are destroyed; not only with a temporal destruction of their substance, and of their names, and they themselves are rooted out of the earth; but with an everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord, and the glory of his power; for this seems to refer to the day of judgment, when all the wicked will be "together"; and shall in a body stand at Christ's left hand, and be bid to go, "ye cursed into everlasting fire", Matthew 25:41, and shall be turned into hell at once, and together;

the end of the wicked shall be cut off; meaning either their posterity, as the word is rendered in Psalms 109:13; or their hope and expectation of good things here and hereafter; when the righteous man receives the end of his faith, hope, and expectation, even the salvation of his soul; but these shall be disappointed and frustrated of their end; see

Proverbs 23:18; or their last end is cutting off from the presence and sight of God, utter ruin and destruction; and so it stands opposed to the end of the perfect and upright man, which is eternal peace and happiness.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

But the transgressors - Sinners; violators of the law of God.

Shall be destroyed together - The word “together” here - יחדּו yachedâh - means properly “a union of them;” then, together - either:

(a) in one place, Genesis 13:6 - or

(b) at one time, Psalms 4:8; or

(c) all as one, Psalms 14:3 - or

(d) mutually with one another, as when men strive together, Deuteronomy 25:11.

The idea here is, that one would be destroyed as well as another; that there would be no exception; that they would go to the same ruin. They might be destroyed at different times, or in different modes, but it would be the same destruction in the end.

The end of the wicked - The future of the wicked. The same word is used here which occurs in Psalms 37:37, as applied to the righteous. The meaning is, that while the “future” of the one would be peace, the future of the other would be a “cutting off,” or destruction.

Shall be cut off - That is, they shall be cut off; or, there will be a cutting off. This means here, evidently:

(a) that as an ordinary fact they would be cut down before they had reached the full limit of their course, Psalms 37:35-36;

(b) in the future world they would be cut off from hope and happiness forever.
