Verse 5
In conclusion, David observed that such a person will experience stability in his life, as well as enjoying intimate fellowship with God.
The fact that David listed a total of 10 moral qualities in this psalm may indicate that he wanted to suggest a comparison with the Ten Commandments. Though the contents of these lists are not the same, they both identify traits that mark a person who is walking in the will of God. The rabbis identified 613 commands in the Mosaic Law. Isaiah mentioned six that are very important (Isaiah 33:15-16), Micah listed three (Micah 6:8), and Habakkuk boiled them down to one, namely, faith (Habakkuk 2:4).
A believer needs to make sure he is walking in the will of God consistently to enjoy fellowship with God and stability in his life. [Note: See Swindoll, pp. 47-55.]
