Study note
Setting — The psalmist addresses the covenant community, describing the observable conduct of those who have just been declared blessed for keeping God’s testimonies and seeking Him fully.
The words — עַוְלָה ('av.Lah) translates as injustice, and הָלָֽכוּ (ha.La.khu) means they walk, anchoring the verse’s claim in concrete action rather than abstract virtue.
The thread — This pattern of sustained obedience appears in 1 John 5:18 and 1 John 3:9, which describe the born-again as those who do not continue in sin.
Why it lands — The text demands a measurable alignment of daily behavior with divine instruction, requiring the reader to examine whether their path consistently avoids wrongdoing and follows God’s commands.
Drafted by a language model from the text, its original words and its cross-references, then checked against them. It can still be wrong: open the verse in the app to report it.
The Hebrew words
King James Version
They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.
