Sevenfold References To The Wicked And To The Righteous In Psalm 37

Sevenfold References To The Wicked And To The Righteous In Psalm 37:

A. The wicked are referred to 14 times in this Psalm:

1) Psalm 37:7 Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

2) Psalm 37:10 For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

3) Psalm 37:12 The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

4) Psalm 37:14 The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

5) Psalm 37:16 A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

6) Psalm 37:17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

7) Psalm 37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

8) Psalm 37:21 The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

9) Psalm 37:28 For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

10) Psalm 37:32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

11) Psalm 37:34 Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

12) Psalm 37:35 I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

13) Psalm 37:38 But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

14) Psalm 37:40 And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him. 


B. There are seven different terms used in Psalm 37 in regards to the righteous:

1) Meek - Psalm 37:11

2) Just - Psalm 37:12

3) Upright - Psalm 37:14, 18, 37

4) Righteous - used 8 times (Psalm 37:16, 17, 21, 25, 29, 30, 32, 39)

5) Good man - Psalm 37:23

6) Saints - Psalm 37:28

7) Perfect man - Psalm 37:37

In this Psalm, the poor and needy and the blessed of God are also referred to in Psalm 37:14, 22.


*For clarification: When a multiple of a number is used, it has the same meaning as the original number. For example, seven means perfection, completion, and is God's stamp on His Word. A multiple of seven has the same meaning, sometimes heightening or magnifying it, but the same underlying meaning. So 14, 21, 70, 490, etc. all have the same symbolic meaning in the Scriptures. There are so many sevens in the Bible, but you will often find many passages where a multiple of seven is used as well. Like here.

And he had in his hand a little book open:  6. and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on the earth,  7. And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roareth:  and when he had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.
