Clarke's Psalms 37:30 Bible Commentary
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom - Foolish and corrupt conversation cannot come out of their mouth. They are taught of God, and they speak according to the wisdom that is from above.
Barnes's Psalms 37:30 Bible Commentary
The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom - That is, It is a characteristic of the righteous to speak "wise things;" not to utter folly. His conversation is serious, earnest, true, pure; and his words are faithful, kind, and just. This, as a part of human conduct, is one of the reasons why God will bless him with prosperity and length of days.
And his tongue talketh of judgment - That is, of just or righteous things. See Matthew 12:35.
Wesley's Psalms 37:30 Bible Commentary
37:30 The mouth - Having shewed, God's singular care over the righteous, he proceeds to give a character of them. Judgment - Of God's judgment, word or law.
