Psalms 119:138 - Ellicott's Commentary On The Whole Bible

Bible Comments

Thy testimonies. — Better, Thou hast commanded Thy testimonies in righteousness and very faithfulness. But unquestionably another arrangement of the text of these two verses is correct. It takes the verb commandest with Psalms 119:137, and gets the simple and obvious “righteous art Thou, O Lord, and upright in the judgments which Thou hast commanded. Thy testimonies are righteous, and faithful to the uttermost” (Burgess). (See Psalms 7:6 and Psalms 119:144.)
