Psalms 37:5

Commit thy way unto the -Lord. Margin, as in Hebrew, “Roll thy way upon, the Lord.” Compare the notes atPsalms 22:8, where the marg., as the Hebrew, is, “He rolled himself on the Lord.” See also1 Peter 5:7. The idea is that of rolling a heavy burden from ourselves on another, or laying it upon him, so that he may bear it. The burden which we have not got strength to bear we may lay on God. The term “way” means properly the act of treading or going; then, a way or path; then, a course of life, or the manner in which one lives; and the reference here is to the whole course of life, or all that can affect life; all our plans or conduct; all the issues or results of those plans.
