Gill's Notes on the Bible
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the Lord your God,.... Sincere in their love to him, united in their worship of him, and constant in their obedience to him:
to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day: as they did that day, neither king nor people having as yet fallen into idolatry, but showing by their then present appearance a zeal for God, his house, and worship.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
As at this day - i. e. “as ye are now doing, in coming with pious intentions to this festival.”
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 61. Let your heart therefore be perfect — Be sincere in your faith, be irreproachable in your conduct.
