Gill's Notes on the Bible
The steps of a [good] man are ordered by the Lord,.... Or "of a man" w; 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.
w ××ר "hominis", Pagninus, Montanus, &c.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord - Margin, âestablished.â The word rendered âorderedâ means to stand erect; to set up; to found; to adjust, fit, direct. The idea here is, that all which pertains to the journey of a good man through life is directed, ordered, fitted, or arranged by the Lord. That is, his course of life is under the divine guidance and control. The word âgoodâ has been supplied here by our translators, and there is nothing corresponding to it in the original. It is simply there, âthe steps of man are ordered,â etc. Yet there can be no doubt that a good or pious man is particularly referred to, for the connection demands this interpretation. The word âstepsâ here means his course of life; the way in which he goes.
And he delighteth in his way - In his course of life; and, therefore, he blesses him. The general idea is that he is the object of the divine favor, and is under the care of God.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse Psalms 37:23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord — There is nothing for good in the text. ××ר geber is the original word, and it properly signifies a strong man, a conqueror or hero; and it appears to be used here to show, that even the most powerful must be supported by the Lord, otherwise their strength and courage will be of little avail.
And he delighteth in his way. — When his steps are ordered by the Lord, he delighteth in his way, because it is that into which his own good Spirit has directed him. Or, the man delights in God's way-in the law and testimonies of his Maker.
