Pulpit Commentary
Pulpit CommentaryVerse 2. - He that walketh uprightly, and worketh righteousness. An upright walk is the first requisite (comp. Genesis 17:1; Psalm 26:3, 11; Isaiah 33:15). Such a walk involves the doing of righteousness, not, of course, in absolute perfection, but with a sincere intention, and so as to have "the answer of a good conscience towards God" (1 Peter 3:21). And speaketh the truth in his heart. Not "from his heart," as in the Prayer-book Version, which would make the reference one to mere truth of speech, but "in his heart," which points to internal truthfulness - that truthfulness "in the hidden council-chamber of the soul," which "holds no parley with what is false" (Kay).
Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(2) Uprightly.--Literally, he whose walking is perfect rectitude. In Proverbs 28:18 the same phrase occurs. Comp. Isaiah 33:15.Speaketh the truth in his heart--i.e., both thinks and speaks the truth."This above all: to thine own self be true,And it must follow as the night the day,Thou canst not then be false to any man."SHAKSPEARE: Hamlet.
