Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
Order my steps--Make firm, so that there be no halting (Psa 40:2). any iniquity-- Psa 119:34 favors HENGSTENBERG, "any iniquitous man," any "oppressor." But the parallel first clause in this (Psa 119:33) favors English Version (Psa 19:13). His hope of deliverance from external oppression of man (Psa 119:34) is founded on his deliverance from the internal "dominion of iniquity," in answer to his prayer (Psa 119:33).
John Gill Bible Commentary
TZADDI.--The Eighteenth Part. TZADDI. Righteous art thou, O Lord,.... Essentially, originally, and of himself; naturally, immutably, and universally, in all his ways and works of nature and grace; in his thoughts, purposes, counsels, and decrees; in all the dispensations of his providence; in redemption, in the justification of a sinner, in the pardon of sin, and in the gift of eternal life through Christ; and upright are thy judgments; they are according to the rules of justice and equity; the precepts of the word, the doctrines of the Gospel, as well as the judgments of God inflicted on wicked men, and all the providential dealings of God with his people, and also the final judgment.
Matthew Henry Bible Commentary
Here David prays for two great spiritual blessings, and is, in this verse, as earnest for the good work of God in him as, in the verse before, for the good-will of God towards him. He prays, 1. For direction in the paths of duty: "Order my steps in thy word; having led me into the right way, let every step I take in that way be under the guidance of thy grace." We ought to walk by rule; all the motions of the soul must not only be kept within the bounds prescribed by the word, so as not to transgress them, but carried out in the paths prescribed by the word, so as not to trifle in them. And therefore we must beg of God that by his good Spirit he would order our steps accordingly. 2. For deliverance from the power of sin: "Let no iniquity have dominion over me, so as to gain my consent to it, and that I should be led captive by it." The dominion of sin is to be dreaded and deprecated by every one of us; and, if in sincerity we pray against it, we may receive that promise as an answer to the prayer (Rom 6:14), Sin shall not have dominion over you.
Psalms 119:133
Your Word Is a Lamp to My Feet
132Turn to me and show me mercy, as You do to those who love Your name. 133Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me. 134Redeem me from the oppression of man, that I may keep Your precepts.

"Do the Next Thing"
By J.R. Miller0Divine GuidanceDutyPSA 119:105PSA 119:133PRO 3:6ISA 30:21MAT 6:34PHP 4:6JAS 1:5J.R. Miller emphasizes the importance of recognizing and fulfilling our immediate duties, likening life to a musical composition where each note has its place. He argues that many people complicate their lives by worrying about distant responsibilities instead of focusing on the present moment. By doing 'the next thing' that comes to hand, we can alleviate confusion and ensure we are aligned with God's purpose. Miller encourages a step-by-step approach to life, trusting that God will illuminate our path as we move forward in obedience. Ultimately, he reassures that every moment holds a duty, and if we are attentive to Christ, we will know what to do next.

The remedy to this pervasive issue, applicable to all of humanity, is found in obedience to God's Word, as highlighted by the psalmist.
