This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
For; he now gives a reason of this great difference between the righteous and the ungodly, expressed in the foregoing verses.
The Lord knoweth; either,
1. Properly and speculatively; he searcheth and knoweth all their hearts and ways or actions; and therefore will preserve, prosper, and bless them; which may be gathered out of the following and opposite clause of this verse, and out of Psa_1:1,2. Or,
2. Practically and affectionately, as words of knowledge in Scripture do frequently imply affection, as Exo_1:8 Psa_31:7 101:4 Hos_8:4 Amo_3:2. He approveth, loveth, and delighteth in them, and in the course of their lives, and therefore will recompense them; or, he careth for and directeth their actions to a blessed issue.
The way of the ungodly shall perish; all their wicked designs and courses shall come to nothing, and they shall perish with them.
