The law of his God is in his heart; his steps do not slip.
The faithful see the world in chaos: the godless prosper while the pious suffer, which tempts us to think God either absent or indifferent. This psalm strengthens us against that very temptation by declaring their felicity cursed and fleeting, while God's care for His own never fails, even in calamity.

Commenting on Psalm 37:1-40
The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. The best thing in the best place, producing the best results. Well might the man's talk be so admirable when his heart was so well stored.
The wicked borrow and refuse to repay; the righteous give freely. If we would be blessed, we must render every man his due and show mercy daily. The first thing God requires is justice; giving and lending, done with a generous heart, are acceptable to Him.
