Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 24. - This verse is connected in thought with the preceding. The wicked, though he lightly carries on his evil practices, is troubled with the thought of the retribution which awaits him, and that which he fears shall come upon him (Proverbs 1:26; Job 3:25; Isaiah 66:4); Septuagint, "The wicked is involved in destruction." The desire of the righteous. The righteous will desire only that which is in agreement with God's will, and this God grants, if not in this world, certainly in the life to come. The LXX. has, "The desire of the just is acceptable."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(24) The fear of the wicked--i.e., that of which he is afraid. (Comp. Isaiah 66:4; Hebrews 10:27.)The desire of the righteous shall be granted.--For they submit their will to the will of God, and pray for what He sees best for them, which accordingly He grants; moreover, the Holy Spirit also aids them, making intercession for them "according to the will of God" (Romans 8:27).
