---First, you need to know that the Psalm is mixed with David’s experience in his “now” and about ten verses in the Psalms is about David’s experience.

---The rest of the Psalm deals with Eschaton language of things prophets were regularly spoken about.

---Of course prophets came after David but it was the same Holy Spirit Who inspired the Scriptures to the one and to the other. The same content is to be expected.

---The “now” in David’s experience and all faithful living with this history of the world is described in 37:1; 37:3-8; 37:16a- b; 37:21; 37:23 -27; 37:32; 37:35; and 37:35.

---The Eschaton language are the rest. The End-time or Last Generation Theology things that Ellen White, our Pioneers and us learned in Daniel and Revelation classes.

---The Hebrew word that is used for patiently in Psalm 37:7 is coming not from the Arabic, which dates to the seventh century and further AD, but to an Egyptian word that was used to describe the judgment of all at midnight in the Heavenly Nile reaching the Court of the god Thoth in Egyptian Theology. The steps are walked up by all their hearts are placed upon a scale and they are judged for their lives and then pronounced righteous or evil.

---Not wait patiently, but wait for judgment. You rest in the Lord and wait for judgment, the Investigative Judgment since 1844, biblical theology told us.

---If you say, what! Where do you see that? Yes. The End-time is described by David in the following verses:

---David talked about the Second-Coming in 37:2; Hell in37:9a; Second Coming in 37:9b; Hell in 37:10a; the 1000 years or millennium in 37:10b; the Second Coming in 37:11a-b; the Little Time of Trouble before the Door of Mercy closes and the Time of Jacob’s Trouble after the Door of Mercy closes in 37:12a-b; Hell in 37:13a-b;

---Time of Trouble in 37:14a-c which is probably a reference to the current future where there will be worldwide land-grabbing due to anti-colonialism; worldwide spoliation with Robin-Hoodism rationalizations; worldwide militarization as predicted also by Amos and Isaiah 24; Time of Jacob’s Trouble in 37:15a-b; Hell in 37:17a-b and 37:20a-c; Time of Trouble before the Door of Mercy closes or the Time of Jacob’s Trouble in 37:19 talking about a probable worldwide famine due to global warming also mentioned by Isaiah 24 and elsewhere in the prophets; 

---the Second Coming in 37:22a and the Hell in 37:22b; Judgment on behalf of the Saints of Daniel 7:22 “until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Most High” is seen by David in 37:28a-d: “For the Lord loves judgment and He will not forsake is saints”;

---Heaven arrived for saints in 37:28c; Hell or executive “cutting off ” of the wicked in finality of existence in 37:28d;

---New Heaven and New Earth to be inherited by the righteous in 37:29a-b; Perfection already arrived since the righteous “shall utter wisdom” in 37:30a and “his tongue will speak judgment” in 37:30b.

---Why will he speak judgment? Christ says that saints will take possession of the kingdom in Daniel 7:22 and they will judge or be involved for a 1000 years in a kind of Confirmation Judgment verifying why their loved ones did not make it.

---Due to perfection they received in sanctification on earth with their careful relationship with the Lord the “law of his God is in his heart” through conversion and “none of his/her steps shall slide” in 37:31, thus absolute perfection guaranteed but attained because God does not like “machine-men with machine-minds” (to quote the famous words of Charlie Chaplin’s Great Speech in the Dictator film clip on Youtube).

---In the Time of Trouble the Lord will not leave the righteous to suffer as is also explained by Isaiah in a number of instances but here by David in Psalm 37:33.

---They are to “wait for the Lord”. Why wait? Advent promise means Advent hope and a delay of that coming means waiting.

---“Keep His way” is to keep considering His Word as the ultimate standard in spiritual living and not to exchange it for culture or my feelings or my opinions or ‘I did it my way’ (Frank Sinatra).

---The Lord “will raise you to inherit the land” at the Resurrection day (37:34b). “When the wicked are cut off you [the faithful ones] shall see it” (37:34c). 

---Is the Word of God not fascinating?

---And you thought that it is a dusty book locked up in time and space 2000 plus years ago and we must use sense and reason and experience to figure out our own things, past, present and future! The Holy Spirit saw all for He is God and indwelling in devoted ones submitted to God. That is the secret. Not dirty pop-ups. Those who attack people’s computers with dirty pop-ups should convert and render their hearts to God. Their end is listed above.
