Psalm 37:2

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

I have seen a wicked, violent man spreading himself like a luxuriant tree in its native soil.

I understood their end when I went into the sanctuary of God.

You sweep mortals away in the sleep of death. They sprout again in the morning like grass.

Wicked people sprout like grass and all troublemakers flourish. Yet they will be destroyed forever.

May all who hate Zion be put to shame and turned backward.

The success of the wicked is brief and the joy of the godless lasts but a moment.

But the rich must be glad when God humbles them. This is because they will wither like wildflowers and pass away.

All people are like grass. All their glory is like the blossom of a flower. The grass withers and the flower drops off.
