Psalms 37:19
In the time of evil they will not be ashamed, and in the days of famine they will be satisfied.
BSB
ASV
They shall not be put to shame in the time of evil; And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
KJV
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time,.... Of affliction and persecution, or of old age, or in the day of judgment, when it will go ill with others; see 1Jn 2:28; and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied: whether it is understood figuratively of a famine of hearing the word, or literally of a proper famine of bread and water: these God will provide for them, as he did for Elijah, and they shall be sure unto them, and therefore let them not fret nor envy.
They shall not be ashamed in the evil time. Calamities will come, but deliverances will come also. As the righteous never reckoned upon immunity from trouble, they will not be disappointed when they are called to take their share of it, but the rather they will cast themselves anew upon their God, and prove again his faithfulness and love. God is not a friend in the sunshine only, he is a friend indeed and a friend in need. And in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
