Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 20. - The Lord preserveth all them that love him (comp. Psalm 31:23; Psalm 97:10). But all the wicked will he destroy. The "severity" of God is always set against his "goodness" in Holy Scripture, lest men should misunderstand, and think to obtain salvation though they continue in wickedness (see Exodus 34:6, 7; Romans 2:2-11; Romans 11:22, etc.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(20) Preserveth . . . destroy.--Notice this recurrent thought, that the guardianship of the good implies the destruction of the wicked.
