Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 18. - For the needy shall not alway be forgotten. The peer and needy, the oppressed and down-trodden (vers. 9, 12), seem for a time to be forgotten of God; but even this seeming oblivion comes to an end when judgment fails on the oppressors (ver. 17). The expectation of the poor shall not perish for ever. "The expectation of the poor" is deliverance. It shall not "perish," or be disappointed, "for ever," i.e. always. There shall be a time when their expectation shall have its accomplishment.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) Not alway.--In the original the negative comes emphatically at the commencement, ruling both clauses, as in Psalm 35:19.The expectation of the poor.--The sufferer's hope will at some time be realised: the hope of being righted. In this confidence the psalmist goes on to call on Jehovah to appear as judge.
