Exegesis
The noun tehorah {טְהוֹרָה | təhōrāh} ‘purity’ in absolute form serves as the predicate, while the participle omedet {עוֹמֶדֶת | ʿōmedet} ‘standing’ combined with the prepositional phrase laad {לָעַד | lāʿad} ‘forever’ highlights ongoing endurance.
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.
