“Concerning the works of men, by the word of thy lips I have kept me from the paths of the destroyer.”
Psalms 17:4 (KJV)
Commentary on Psalms 17:4
David kept himself from 'paths of the violent' through God's word ('word of Your lips'). The Hebrew 'parits' (violent/destroyer) describes ruthless people. This demonstrates Scripture's sanctifying power—God's word guides and restrains. This anticipates Psalm 119's extensive meditation on Scripture's role in holy living and Jesus' use of Scripture to resist temptation (Matthew 4). Reformed theology affirms Scripture's sufficiency for faith and practice.
