Commentaries:
"The works of His hands" could be the creation or what He does in redemptive situations. "Verity" is truth, and "judgment" describes how soundly and wisely God's works are thought out. That "all His precepts are sure," indicating longevity, hints at their eternal nature.

The Covenants, Grace, and Law (Part Ten)
It is important to understand when researchers feel this psalm was written: sometime after the Jews returned from their exile in Babylon. In other words, during the time of Nehemiah and Ezra or perhaps shortly thereafter. We should imagine a scribe (someone like Ezra) writing this psalm, extolling how God once again redeemed His people from slavery, brought them back to their land, and supplied their every need.
