"But the humble shall inherit the land, 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.
