Charles Ellicott Commentary Psalms 19:9

"The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether." — Psalms 19:9 (ASV)

The fear of the Lord. —Here plainly not a moral quality of the individual, but, as in Proverbs 15:33 , religion, the service demanded by the Law, which, being “pure and undented,” endures, while the false systems of idolatrous nations perish. Based on the eternal principle of right, the judgments of God, it is eternal as they are.
