Footnotes
- 24 Or “just.” Perhaps the idea is that they impart a knowledge of what is just and right.
- 25 Heb “[they] make happy [the] heart.” Perhaps the point is that they bring a sense of joyful satisfaction to the one who knows and keeps them, for those who obey God’s law are richly rewarded. See v. 11b.
- 26 Heb “command.” The singular here refers to the law as a whole.
- 27 Because they reflect God’s character, his commands provide a code of moral and ethical purity.
- 28 Heb [they] enlighten [the] eyes.
