God's Perfect Reliability
Commentators agree that this verse provides the foundation for praise: God's absolute trustworthiness. His 'word'—encompassing His commands, promises, and revealed scripture—is perfectly right. Similarly, His 'work'—from creation to His ongoing providence—is executed in complete faithfulness. As Albert Barnes notes, the fact that God says or does something is the highest proof of its rightness and truth.
