Translation
[Meaning] law, commandments, judgments: he [sc. the Psalmist] calls "law" [no/mos ] the [law] that was given by God through Moses; "commandments" [e)ntolai/ ] and "ordinances" [prosta/gmata ] also the same [law] because it is royally commanded and ordained; "statutes" [dikaiw/mata ] because it is able to justify [dikaiou=n ] the one who observes them; "judgments" [kri/mata ] because it reveals God's decisions and the appropriate recompense for those who live lawfully or unlawfully; and "testimonies" [martu/ria ] because it bears witness and demonstrates what [penalties] they will undergo who violate these [judgments]. But condemnations [are] also [called] dikaiw/mata .
