"But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace."
Commentary
Gill's Exposition
But the meek shall inherit the earth,.... See Gill on Psa 37:9 ; of this character See Gill on Psa 22:26 . Our Lord seems to refer to this passage
in Mat 5:5 ; and shall delight themselves is the abundance of peace; of spiritual peace enjoyed in a way of believing, arising from a comfortable view of interest in the blood, righteousness, and sacrifice of Christ; and of all happiness and prosperity in the kingdom of Christ here on earth, at which time there will be abundance of peace, Psa 72:7 ; or of eternal peace in the world to come, which will be a state of uninterrupted and unspeakable peace; see Psa 37:37 ; all which afford inconceivable delight and pleasure; and therefore such have no need to fret and be envious at the fading happiness of wicked men.
