The just [man] walketh in his integrity, etc.] This is the faithful and upright man, who is made righteous by the obedience of Christ; and walks by faith in him, and according to the truth of the Gospel; his children [are] blessed after him; with temporal blessings; and, walking in the same integrity as he does, they are blessed with spiritual blessings here, and eternal blessedness hereafter; see (<193726>Psalm 37:26). It is an observation of an Heathen poetf557, that good things befall the children of the godly, but not the children of the ungodly.
