For those of us who believe the Bible is the word of God. What does PS 37:9-11,29 tell us?

Psalm 37:9-11

New King James Version (NKJV)

9 For evildoers shall be cut off;

But those who wait on the Lord,

They shall inherit the earth.

10 For yet a little while and the wicked shall be no more;

Indeed, you will look carefully for his place,

But it shall be no more.

11 But the meek shall inherit the earth,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Psalm 37:29

New King James Version (NKJV)

29 The righteous shall inherit the land,

And dwell in it forever.

What are these verses telling us?!

    37:1–40 Psalm 37, an irregular acrostic, is a wisdom poem addressed to man, not God. Verses 12–24 sound very much like the maxims of Proverbs. The covenant promises of the “land” for Israel are prominent in its verses (cf. vv. 3, 9, 11, 22, 29, 34). Its basic theme deals with the age-old question “Why do the ungodly prosper while the godly painfully struggle through life?” An intricate arrangement puts forth David’s answer. In Ps 37, David mixes and matches 6 thoughts in order to advance his major message on the eventual arrival of divine justice.

    I. An Introductory Overview (37:1, 2)

    II. An Initial Expansion (37:3–11)

    III. Some Proverbial Perspectives (37:12–24)

    IV. An Initial Testimony (37:25, 26)

    V. A Final Expansion (cf. vv. 3–11) (37:27–34)

    VI. A Final Testimony (cf. vv. 25, 26) (37:35–40)

    Those who are imputed with God`s righteousness, by His grace, will go to heaven. Those not, will go to hell. Divine grace and divine judgement.
