Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established.
Ponder the path of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established. The object of the tempter is to prevent your doing so (Proverbs 5:6). As the Lord ponders (i:e., weighs well) all thy goings, and shall test them in the great day (1 Corinthians 3:13-14), thou shouldst do so thyself (Proverbs 5:21; cf. Galatians 2:14, "Walk uprightly" [orthopodein]; Ephesians 5:15, "Walk circumspectly" [literally, accurately - akriboos (G199)]. How perverse, then, those worldlings are who sneer at religious stricture as strait-laced Puritanism! "And let all thy ways be established" - (Psalms 119:5.) Or a promise, 'And all thy ways shall be established,' as the reward of pondering well thy path (Proverbs 16:12; 1 Chronicles 22:13; cf. 2 Chronicles 24:20).
