Exegesis
The verse begins with the construct chain yirat YHWH {יִרְאַת־יְהוָה | yirʾat Yəhōwāh} ‘fear of the LORD’, linking awe directly to the divine name.
In parallel, mishpetei YHWH {מִשְׁפְּטֵי־יְהוָה | mišpəṭê Yəhōwāh} ‘judgments of the LORD’ asserts divine authority, with emet {אֱמֶת | ʾemet} ‘truth’ as a predicate complement.
In context — Psalm 19:9
The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true and they are altogether righteous.
