For the word of the LORDis right; and all his works are done in truth.
The word of the Lord is right, and everything He does is done in faithfulness and truth. His works express His loving-kindness and are in full accord with righteousness and justice. Because His word and works are right and faithful, He is worthy to be praised.
Because His works are done in truth, His dealings can be trusted with contentment even when they seem dark or cannot be understood. This calls for simple, unreserved submission to His will instead of presumptuous attempts to discover how or why He acts. The verse instructs believers in the ways of the Lord and in their privilege of reflecting the divine image in thought and deed. That reflection happens as the Lord Himself, not self, impresses, refines, and purifies the heart, mind, and life.
