Evil shall slay the wicked: and they that hate the righteous shall be desolate.
Every verse of Psalm 34, including this one, holds an important lesson to be read before those who need it. It is especially to be read before men who are not walking in the light. It stands with the truth that God tenderly regards those with subdued and contrite hearts. It stands with the truth that He dwells in the high and holy place with the contrite and humble to revive their spirit and heart.
It belongs to a passage assuring that God is near to the brokenhearted, saves and redeems His servants, and keeps secure those who trust in Him. It stands with the truth that God judges righteously and does not judge unrighteously. It stands with the truth that He shows mercy from generation to generation on those who fear Him. It stands with the truth that He scatters the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
It stands with the truth that He puts down the mighty and exalts those of low degree. It stands with the truth that He fills the hungry with good things. It stands with the truth that He sends the rich away empty. It applies as warning and instruction where wrong principles are practiced and messages of reproof are resisted with pride.
