Psalm 18:10 — the judgments of the Lord are true, justified together
“The judgments of the Lord are true, justified together” (Psalm 18:10).
It was necessary that he added the third verse to the two former; for the judgments of God, for those who sin and transgress, have been established as fearful and to-be-sought-out; but for those who work the law of God and keep it they appear more honorable than all wealth, because of the hope of the recompense, and even sweeter than any pleasure.

18.10 Τὰ κρίματα Κυρίου ἀληθινὰ, δε δικαιωμένα ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτό. ̓Αναγκαῖον τοῖς δύο στίχοις τοῖς προτέ ροις τὸν τρίτον προσέθηκε· τὰ γὰρ τοῦ Θεοῦ κρίματα, τοῖς μὲν ἁμαρτάνουσι καὶ παρα βάταις φοβερὰ καὶ ἀποζητητέα καθέστηκεν· τοῖς δὲ ἐργαζομένοις τοῦ Θεοῦ τὸν νόμον καὶ φυλάττουσι παντὸς πλούτου τιμιώτερα, διὰ τὴν ἐλπίδα τῆς ἀμοιβῆς, ἀλλὰ μὴν καὶ πάσης ἡδονῆς γλυκύτερα φαίνεται.
