Contextual Overview

1 My sonne, if thou wylt receaue my wordes, and lay vp my commaundementes within thee, 2 That thou wylt encline thine eares vnto wisdome: applye thine heart then to vnderstandyng. 3 For if thou cryest after wisdome, and cryest for knowledge: 4 If thou seekest for her as for siluer, and searchest for her as for treasures: 5 Then shalt thou vnderstand the feare of the Lorde, and finde the knowledge of God. 6 For the Lorde geueth wisdome, out of his mouth commeth knowledge and vnderstandyng. 7 He stirreth vp health for the righteous: and defendeth them that walke vprightly, 8 That they may kepe the right path: and he preserueth the way of such as do serue him with godlinesse. 9 Then shalt thou vnderstande righteousnesse, and iudgement, and equitie, yea and euery good path.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

He keepeth the paths of judgment,.... That is, the Lord keeps them; he does that which is just and right himself, in the course of his providence, and in the methods of his grace; and as he guides the feet of his people in the ways of righteousness and holiness, he keeps them there from turning out of them. The words may be rendered, "to keep the paths of judgment" q; and so expresses the end, fruit, and effect of the Lord's being a buckler to them, as he is said to be in Proverbs 2:7: he is their shield and protection, so as either to keep them in the right ways in which they should go; or that they might studiously observe them, and keep walking therein, without stumbling in them, or declining from them;

and preserveth the way of his saints; to whom he has been kind and bountiful; or who have been merciful, liberal, and generous to others; who having partook of the grace of God themselves, are useful to men: the Targum calls them "righteous ones". These the Lord preserves by his power and grace, in the way in which he has led them, and which is his own way, safe to his kingdom and glory: for none of his saints, his holy and righteous ones, shall ever perish; the way in which he directs them, and in which he keeps them, leads to everlasting life; see 1 Samuel 2:9.

q לנצר "ad custodiendum", Pagninus, Montanus; "ad servandum", Baynus, Schultens.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

saints - The devout and God-fearing. Compare Psalms 85:8 etc. The occurrence of the word here, in a book that became more and more prominent as prophetic utterances ceased, probably helped to determine its application in the period of the Maccabean struggles to those who especially claimed for themselves the title of “devout” (Chasidim, the ̓Ασιδαῖοι Asidaioi of 1 Macc. 7:13).
