Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.
God's word is true from the beginning, and every one of His righteous judgments endures forever. It exalts His law as the rule of life, setting forth the principles of righteousness and making clear the distinction between right and wrong and between truth and error. That law was given at the foundation of the world and continues through every generation, and His holy law still governs the human beings He created. To reject that law is to fall into confusion, leaving people unable to know His will or to understand true doctrine.
Because men have changed His laws and continually insult His holy commandments, life has become intolerable through cruelty. The Lord will certainly arise to punish that bold, defiant wickedness, and His long delay is not acquittal but remarkable long-suffering and restraint of His own power, marvelous in view of increasing perversity. Even so He keeps giving continual light to those who remain obedient. The verse is a prayerful affirmation of Scripture's enduring truth and authority, offered as a safeguard against sin and worldly plans.
