He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity,This verse is answering a question in the previous one, about who can withstand God's judgment. The answer is the type of person listed here, someone who has no evil to be judged for. Someone who actively avoids evil, not just passively ignores it.
He who rejects unjust gain
And shakes his hands so that they hold no bribe;
He who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed
And shuts his eyes from looking upon evil;
I wish I could say that I was this type of person, but I can't. I know that I still enjoy evil in too many areas, and accept it in others. I lack the revulsion and strength that is displayed here, and am unsure how to get it.
