I know, O LORD
The phrase begins with a personal acknowledgment of understanding and relationship. The Hebrew word for "know" is "yada," which implies an intimate, experiential knowledge rather than mere intellectual assent. This suggests a deep, personal relationship with God, emphasizing the psalmist's confidence in God's character and actions. The use of "O LORD" refers to the covenant name of God, Yahweh, highlighting the personal and covenantal relationship between God and His people. This invocation of God's name is a reminder of His eternal faithfulness and unchanging nature.

that Your judgments are righteous
The term "judgments" in Hebrew is "mishpatim," which refers to God's decisions, ordinances, or decrees. These are not arbitrary but are rooted in His perfect justice and holiness. The psalmist affirms that God's judgments are "righteous," or "tsaddiq" in Hebrew, meaning they are morally right and just. This reflects a trust in God's moral governance of the world, acknowledging that His ways are inherently good and just, even when they are beyond human understanding.

and that in faithfulness
The word "faithfulness" is translated from the Hebrew "emunah," which conveys steadfastness, reliability, and trustworthiness. It underscores God's unwavering commitment to His promises and His people. The psalmist recognizes that God's actions are consistent with His character, and His faithfulness is a foundation for trust, even in times of trial or discipline.

You have afflicted me
The term "afflicted" comes from the Hebrew "anah," which can mean to humble, to oppress, or to cause to suffer. Here, it is understood as a form of divine discipline or correction. The psalmist acknowledges that the affliction is not random or punitive but is a part of God's faithful dealings with His people. It is a recognition that God uses trials to refine, teach, and draw His people closer to Himself, aligning them more closely with His will and purposes.

(75) See Psalm 119:67-71.

Verse 75. - I know, O Lord, that thy judgments are right; literally, are righteousness - have in them nothing that is not just and good. And that in faithfulness thou hast afflicted me. The Prayer-book Version brings out the full sense of the words, "And that thou in very faithfulness hast caused me to be troubled" (comp. vers. 67, 68, 71, with the comment furnished by Hebrews 12:5-11).
