Contextual Overview
20 My son, attend to my speech; and apply thine ear to my words: 21 that thy fountains may not fail thee; keep them in thine heart. 22 For they are life to those that find them, and health to all their flesh. 23 Keep thine heart with the utmost care; for out of these are the issues of life. 24 Remove from thee a froward mouth, and put far away from thee unjust lips. 25 Let thine eyes look right on, and let thine eyelids assent to just things. 26 Make straight paths for thy feet, and order thy ways aright. 27 Turn not aside to the right hand nor to the left, but turn away thy foot from an evil way: [for God knows the ways on the right hand, but those on the left are crooked:] and he will make thy ways straight, and will guide thy steps in peace.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Ponder the path of thy feet,.... Consider well what path it is, whether right or wrong; or weigh it in the balances of thought, as Aben Ezra; or rather in the balances of the word, and see whether it agrees with that or not. The Septuagint version is, "make straight paths for thy feet"; to which the author of the epistle to the Hebrews seems to have respect, Hebrews 12:13;
and let all thy walls be established; so as to walk on steadily, constantly, uniformly, and not be easily moved out of the ways of religion and truth. Or, "let all thy ways be prepared", or "directed", or "disposed" c; according to the rule of the divine word. Some render it as a promise, "and all thy ways shall be established" d; when care is taken to look well into them; see 2 Chronicles 20:20.
c יכנו "dirigantur", Tigurine version, Mercerus; "recte apparentur aut disponantur", Vatablus. d "Stabilientur", V. L. Pagninus, Montanus; "constabilientur", Schultens.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
Speech turned from its true purpose, the wandering eye that leads on to evil, action hasty and inconsiderate, are the natural results where we do not “above all keeping keep our heart” Proverbs 4:23.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Proverbs 4:26. Ponder the path of thy feet — Weigh well the part thou shouldst act in life. See that thou contract no bad habits.
