God's Actions, Not Our Duties
Commentators like Calvin, Barnes, and Gill clarify that "the paths of the Lord" in this verse refers to God's actions, providences, and dealings with His people. It's not primarily about the commands we are to follow, but about the character of God's own ways toward us. Every step He takes in relation to His people is marked by these qualities.
