Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 6. - For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous. God is said to "know" those of whom he approves, and. on whom he "lifts up the light of his countenance." The wicked he does not "know;" he "casts them out of the sight of his eyes" - "casts them behind his back;" refuses to acknowledge them. God "knows the way of the righteous," and therefore they live and prosper; he does not know the way of the wicked, and therefore the way of the (wicked, or) ungodly shall perish (compare the beginning and end of Psalm 112.).

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(6) Knoweth--i.e., recogniseth with discriminative discernment and appreciation. (Comp. Psalm 31:7; Psalm 144:3; Exodus 2:25; also John 10:14. So Shakespeare, As You Like It: "I know you are my eldest brother, and in the gentle condition of blood you should so know me.")The way of the ungodly shall perish.--This is explained by Psalm 112:10, "the desire of the wicked shall perish;" all his plans and ambitions shall come to nought. The metaphor is illustrated by Job 6:18, where an unjust course is compared to a stream that suddenly dries up and disappears. . . .
