John Gill's Bible Commentary Ver. 8. All the words of my mouth [are] in righteousness , etc.] Or “with righteousness” f214 ; are connected with it, are agreeable to it; are righteous ones, consistent with righteousness, with the righteous nature, will, and law of God: or “are concerning righteousness” the necessity of righteousness in order to eternal life; the insufficiency of man’s own righteousness to entitle to it; the need, worth, and excellency of the righteousness of Christ for that purpose; and of the propriety and usefulness of a life of righteousness and holiness, which the grace of God instructs men in; [there is] nothing froward or perverse in them ; that is contrary to right reason, or to the law of God, or to the Scriptures of truth, or to the analogy of faith; nor is there any contradiction in the doctrines of the Gospel one to another, but an entire harmony and uniformity in them; they are not “yea” and “nay”.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - The will of God is made known by the works of creation, and by the consciences of men, but more clearly by Moses and the prophets. The chief difficulty is to get men to attend to instruction. Yet attentio to the words of Christ, will guide the most ignorant into savin knowledge of the truth. Where there is an understanding heart, an willingness to receive the truth in love, wisdom is valued above silve and gold.
