Exegesis
The second line fronts the locative phrase be-khol-ha-aretz {בְּכָל־הָאָ֖רֶץ | bə-ḵōl-hā-ʾā-reṣ} ‘in all the earth’ for emphasis, then states mishpatav {מִשְׁפָּטָֽיו | miš-pā-ṭāw} ‘His judgments’ as the focal element, yielding the sense “His judgments are in all the earth.” This two-part structure links covenant identity (“the LORD our God”) with universal scope (“in all the earth”), presenting His judicial authority as extending everywhere.
