Commentary

When a man's ways please the Lord,.... As they do when a man walks according to the rule of his word; when he wal ks as he has Christ for an example; when he walks after the Spirit, and not after the flesh; when he walks by faith, and does all he does in faith; without which it is impossible to please God, Heb 11:6 ; and when all his ways and actions are directed to the glory of God; he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him; as Abimelech with Isaac, Esau with Jacob; and the enemies of the church and people of God with then, in the latter day, Rev 3:9 .
