Thy testimonies that thou hast commanded [are]
righteous,
&c.] The Scriptures are holy, just, and good; and what is
contained in them are according to godliness; are for instruction
in righteousness, and teach men to live soberly, righteously, and
godly;
and very faithful;
or "true" F21: all the sayings in them are true
and faithful sayings; for they are the sayings of God that cannot
lie; the promises in them are faithfully performed by him that
made them; they are all yea and amen in Christ. The words may be
rendered, "thou hast commanded righteousness [in] thy
testimonies, and truth" or faith "exceedingly": so the Arabic
version. God in the law requires of men a perfect righteousness,
every way agreeable to its demands; and in his Gospel he reveals
the complete righteousness of his Son, which he has commanded to
be published in it, to be laid hold on and received by faith as a
justifying righteousness, as it is to all that believe: this,
with every other truth of the Gospel, is made manifest by the
Scriptures according to the commandment of the everlasting God, (
Romans
16:25 Romans 16:26
