Summary Of Commentaries Associated With The Selected Verse
| A Commentary, Critical, Practical, and Explanatory on the Old and New Testaments, by Robert Jamieson, A.R. Fausset and David Brown [1882] |
| The righteous described as to the elements of character, thought, word, and action. |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom - That is, It is a characteristic of the righteous to speak "wise things;" not to utter folly. His conversation is serious, earnest, true, pure; and his words are faithful, kind, and just. This, as a part of human conduct, is one of the reasons why God will bless him with prosperity and length of days.
And his tongue talketh of judgment - That is, of just or righteous things. See Mat 12:35. |
| Commentary on the Old Testament, by Carl Friedrich Keil and Franz Delitzsch [1857-78] |
| The verb הגה unites in itself the two meanings of meditating and of meditative utterance (vid., Psa 2:1), just as אמר those of thinking and speaking. Psa 37:31 in this connection affirms the stability of the moral nature. The walk of the righteous has a fixed inward rule, for the Tפra is to him not merely an external object of knowledge and a compulsory precept; it is in his heart, and, because it is the Tפra of his God whom he loves, as the motive of his actions closely united with his own will. On תּמעד, followed by the subject in the plural, compare Psa 18:35; Psa 73:2 Chethמb. |
| Explanatory Notes on the Whole Bible, by John Wesley [1754-65] |
| The mouth - Having shewed, God's singular care over the righteous, he proceeds to give a character of them. Judgment - Of God's judgment, word or law. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
| The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom - Foolish and corrupt conversation cannot come out of their mouth. They are taught of God, and they speak according to the wisdom that is from above. |
35 A good [18] man [444] out of [1537] the good [18] treasure [2344] of the heart [2588] bringeth forth [1544] good things [18]: and [2532] an evil [4190] man [444] out of [1537] the evil [4190] treasure [2344] bringeth forth [1544] evil things [4190].
