37:32-40 The Lord Protects the Righteous from the Plots of the Wicked. A common theme in the Psalms is that the faithful are always under threat from the devices of the wicked, but that they may trust the Lord to preserve them. In this final section the assurance comes from the fact that the Lord will not abandon the faithful to the power of the wicked (vv. 32-33), but will ensure that both the righteous and the wicked receive their proper reward in due time (probably in the world to come, vv. 37-38; cf. note on v. 9).
