Albert Barnes Commentary Psalms 25:13

"His soul shall dwell at ease; And his seed shall inherit the land." — Psalms 25:13 (ASV)

His soul shall dwell at ease - Margin: “shall lodge in goodness.” So the Hebrew. The idea is that of one “at home;” one who finds a comfortable and safe resting place; one who is not a wanderer or a vagrant. The word rendered in the text “at ease,” and in the margin “goodness,” means “good;” and the idea is that of a good or safe condition as compared with that of one who wanders abroad without a shelter, or of one who has lost his way, and has no one to guide him. In contrast to such a one, he who fears God, and who seeks his guidance and direction, will be like a man in his own comfortable and quiet home.

The one is a condition of safety and of ease; the other, a condition of anxiety, doubt, trouble. Nothing could better describe the calmness, peace, and conscious security of the man who has found the truth and who serves God - as compared with the state of that man who has no religion, no fear of God, no hope of heaven.

And his seed - His posterity; his family. Shall inherit the earth. Originally this promise referred to the land of Canaan, as a promise connected with obeying the law of God (Exodus 20:12). It came then to be synonymous with outward worldly prosperity; with length of days, and happiness in the earth. See it explained in the notes at (Matthew 5:5).
