Footnotes
- 3 For the Lord’s decrees are just … After the call to praise (vv. 1–3), the psalmist now gives a series of reasons why the Lord is worthy of praise.
- 4 Heb “word.” In this context, which depicts the Lord as the sovereign creator and ruler of the world, the Lord’s “word” refers to the decrees whereby he governs his dominion.
- 5 Or “upright.”
- 6 Heb “and all his work [is] in faithfulness.”
- 7 Heb “loves.” The verb “loves” is here metonymic; the Lord’s commitment to principles of equity and justice causes him to actively promote these principles as he governs the world.
- 8 Heb “fills the earth.”
