Commentary
Depart from evil, and do good,.... Depart from evildoers, and their evil ways; join not with them, nor fret and be envious at them; but do acts of beneficence, and all good works; since righteous men, and their seed, are not forsaken, but blessed of God; See Gill on
Psa 34:14
;
and dwell for evermore; or "thou shalt dwell for evermore" (z); see
Psa 37:3
; that is, in everlasting habitations, in the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens,
Luk 16:9
. The Targum is, "that thou mayest dwell in everlasting life".
(z) "et habitabis in seculum", Pagninus, Vatablus, Piscator; so Aben Ezra & Kimchi.
