Psalm 37:30-31 highlights the central role of God's Word in the life of the righteous. Jim Osman explains that the Word of God is in the believer's mouth, heart, and steps. A righteous person speaks wisdom and justice because God's truth fills their heart, shaping their words and actions. True righteousness is not about external conformity but an inward delight in God's law, which guards and guides the believer's path. This passage emphasizes the transformative power of Scripture—it leads to salvation and sanctifies and preserves the righteous, ensuring that their steps do not slip.

Psalm 37:27-29 highlights the preservation of the righteous, emphasizing their purity, divine protection, and eternal inheritance. Jim Osman explains that believers must depart from evil and pursue righteousness, trusting in God's justice, which ensures they will never be forsaken. While the wicked may prosper temporarily, their descendants will be cut off, whereas the righteous will inherit the land and dwell in it forever. This passage reassures believers that their security rests not in worldly success but in God’s eternal promise, guiding them to live with a focus on holiness, faith, and future hope in Christ.

Here are the last two ways that Yahweh makes the little of the righteous to be more than the much of many wicked. He establishes the ways of the righteous. He makes the righteous a blessing to others. This is the third message in the section of Psalm 37 that describes God's provision for the righteous (vv. 16-26). An exposition of Psalm 37:16-26.
