Psalms 111:10. The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:
It is the A B C of true wisdom. He who has learned to fear God has learned the first part of wisdom. According to some, the word "beginning" here means the chief, the head, the front, just as, often, in Scripture, "beginning" signifies that. "The fear of the Lord" is the chief part of "wisdom," the essence of it.
Psalms 111:10. A good understanding have all they that do his commandments:
Practical goodness is the proof of a good understanding. A man may have an orthodox head, and yet not have a good understanding. A man may be able to talk very glibly about the commandments of God, and even to preach about them with considerable power; but it is the doing of them that is the main point.
Psalms 111:10. His praise endureth for ever.
