Psaume 37:23 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 37:23

The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the Lord
Or "of a man" ^F23; such a man as is blessed of the Lord; the steps which he takes in life are ordered by the Lord, both with respect to things temporal and spiritual: his good conduct is not of himself, it is a blessing of the Lord, who directs and keeps the feet of his saints, and inclines them to take such steps, and pursue such methods, which he succeeds and prospers;

and he delighteth in his way;
which he knows and approves of, guides and directs him in; see ( Psalms 1:6 ) .

Psaume 37:23 In-Context

21 Le méchant emprunte, et il ne rend pas; Le juste est compatissant, et il donne.

22 Car ceux que bénit l'Eternel possèdent le pays, Et ceux qu'il maudit sont retranchés.

23 L'Eternel affermit les pas de l'homme, Et il prend plaisir à sa voie;

24 S'il tombe, il n'est pas terrassé, Car l'Eternel lui prend la main.

25 J'ai été jeune, j'ai vieilli; Et je n'ai point vu le juste abandonné, Ni sa postérité mendiant son pain.
