Bible Question: Does this texts Psalm 111:7,8 and Psalms 119:89, 160 has something to do with God's 10 Commandement Law or just simply His Divine word in general, what does the word "decrees and precept" mean in Ps 111:7 and "word" in Ps 119:89,160. Does these texts spoke of the same thought? |
Bible Answer: Synonyms for the law In Psalm 119 'God's Word is treated under these designations: (1) law; (2) word (words); (3) ordinances; (4) commandments; (5) precepts; (6) testimonies; (7) statutes; and (8) judgments...Only vv. 90, 121, 122 and 132 do not give a synonym for the law... 'The shades of meaning in the words employed are as follows:..."Word" is speech or utterance, a general word for the disclosure of God's will..."Precepts" relate to man's moral obligations as enjoined by God'(Note at Psalm 119:1, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). |
