9. This is the psalmist’s second resolution, to live as in the sight of God in the midst of the sons of men. By a man’s walk is understood his way of life: some live only as in the sight of their fellow-men, having regard to human judgment and opinion; but the truly gracious consider the presence of God. The life of faith, hope, holy fear, and true holiness is produced by a sense of living and walking before the Lord, and he who has been favored with divine deliverances in answer to prayer finds his own experience the best reason for a holy life, and the best assistance to his endeavors. We know that God in a special manner is nigh unto his people: what manner of persons ought we to be in all holy conversation and godliness?
