All the LORD’s ways
This phrase emphasizes the comprehensive nature of God's guidance and actions. The Hebrew word for "ways" is "derek," which can mean a road, path, or journey. It implies a course of life or mode of action. In the biblical context, it suggests that every path God takes is intentional and purposeful. Historically, the Israelites understood "ways" as the divine paths laid out in the Torah, which were meant to guide them in righteousness. This phrase reassures believers that God's ways are not arbitrary but are rooted in His divine wisdom and purpose.

are loving and faithful
The Hebrew words here are "chesed" (loving) and "emet" (faithful). "Chesed" is often translated as loving-kindness or steadfast love, reflecting God's covenantal love that is enduring and unwavering. It is a central theme in the Old Testament, highlighting God's mercy and grace. "Emet" means truth or faithfulness, indicating reliability and trustworthiness. Together, these attributes assure believers that God's actions are motivated by love and are consistent with His promises. Historically, these qualities were seen in God's dealings with Israel, providing a foundation of trust for His people.

to those who keep His covenant
The concept of "covenant" (Hebrew: "berit") is foundational in the Bible, representing a solemn agreement between God and His people. It involves commitments and promises, often sealed with a sign or sacrifice. In the Old Testament, covenants were central to Israel's relationship with God, such as the covenants with Abraham, Moses, and David. Keeping the covenant implies obedience and faithfulness to God's commands. This phrase underscores the reciprocal nature of the relationship; God's loving and faithful ways are experienced by those who remain true to their covenantal obligations.

and His decrees
The word "decrees" (Hebrew: "edot") refers to testimonies or statutes, often seen as divine laws or commandments. These are the specific instructions given by God to guide His people in righteous living. In the historical context, these decrees were part of the Torah, which provided a comprehensive guide for moral and spiritual conduct. The emphasis on keeping God's decrees highlights the importance of living according to His revealed will. For believers, it serves as a reminder that adherence to God's laws is a pathway to experiencing His love and faithfulness.

(10) Mercy and truth.--Or, grace and truth; recalling John 1:4-17, and showing how the conception of God and His ways was gradually passing over from the domain of the Law to that of the Gospel.

Verse 10. - All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. Mercy and truth will meet together (Psalm 85:10) in the case of those who, however they may have sinned, meekly submit themselves to God's guidance, and thenceforth keep his covenant and his testimonies.
