What 'Dealing Truly' Means
Commentators explain that the 'just' person described here lives a life of complete integrity. This involves both sincere worship of God (obeying His 'statutes') and fair, compassionate dealings with others (keeping His 'judgments'). As Calvin notes, the phrase 'to deal truly' emphasizes sincerity and acting without deceit. This holistic righteousness is the outward evidence of a just heart.
