Psalm 37:30-31 - The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom

The mouth of the righteous man utters wisdom, and his tongue speaks what is just. The law of his God is in his heart; his feet do not slip.

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment. The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice. The law of his God is in his heart; His steps do not slip.

Psalm 37:30-31

Commentary

The just man's speech is brimful of wisdom. What he says is sound, Scriptural, and solid. He speaks justice-not crookedness and deceit. He meditates continually on the Word of God, and this keeps his steps from slipping into sin and shame.

As Spurgeon has mentioned, he has:

the best thing-the law of his God,

in the best place-in his heart,

producing the best result-his steps do not slip.
