Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 139:24

"And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting." — Psalms 139:24 (ASV)

Wicked way. — The Hebrew may mean (as in 1 Chronicles 4:9; Isaiah 14:3) way of sorrow, or way of an idol, i.e., idolatry, which is preferable.

Way everlasting. — Rather, here as in Jeremiah 6:16; Jeremiah 18:15, it refers to the old, i.e., the true, religion, in the ancient way. The word translated as “everlasting” merely expresses indefinite time, whether past or future.
