Psalms 37:30

“I have chosen the way of truth, etc.] Christ, who is the way and the truth, the true way to God and to eternal happiness; and to choose him is to choose the good part, which shall never be taken away; and which choice is made, not by the free will of man, as left to itself, but under the influence and by the direction of the Spirit and grace of God; whereby a soul sees a preferableness in Christ to every thing else, and which determines the choice of him: or, “the way of faith”, as the Targum; the doctrine of faith, particularly the doctrine of justification by faith in the righteousness of Christ; also each of the truths of the Gospel, a way in which believers walk with pleasure and by…”

“The righteous described as to the elements of character, thought, word, and action.”

“The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom - That is, It is a characteristic of the righteous to speak “wise things;” not to utter folly. His conversation is serious, earnest, true, pure; and his words are faithful, kind, and just. This, as a part of human conduct, is one of the reasons why God will bless him with prosperity and length of days. And his tongue talketh of judgment - That is, of just or righteous things. See Matthew 12:35. return to 'Top of Page'”

“The mouth - Having shewed, God's singular care over the righteous, he proceeds to give a character of them. Judgment - Of God's judgment, word or law. Psalms 37:31”

“37:30 The godly base their counsel on the Lord’s wisdom.”

“Psa 71:15, Psa 71:24; Deu 6:7-9; Pro 10:21, Pro 10:31, Pro 15:7, Pro 25:11-13, Pro 27:9; Mat 12:35; Eph 4:29; Col 4:6 Psalms 37:31”

“The verb הגה unites in itself the two meanings of meditating and of meditative utterance (vid., Psa 2:1), just as אמר those of thinking and speaking. Psa 37:31 in this connection affirms the stability of the moral nature. The walk of the righteous has a fixed inward rule, for the Tפra is to him not merely an external object of knowledge and a compulsory precept; it is in his heart, and, because it is the Tפra of his God whom he loves, as the motive of his actions closely united with his own will. On תּמעד, followed by the subject in the plural, compare Psa 18:35; Psa 73:2 Chethמb. Psalms 37:32”
