I lead in the way of righteousness In the way of truth, justice, and mercy, of holiness and happiness; the way in which God would have men to walk, and which will certainly bring them to the desired end. In the midst of the paths of judgment, keeping at an equal distance from both extremes, and from the very borders of them. That I may cause, &c., to inherit substance Substantial, true, and satisfying happiness; which is here opposed to all worldly enjoyments, which are but mere shadows, and dreams of felicity, Proverbs 23:5.
