 (vs. 10) God having thus blessedly revealed Himself in His works, it is manifestly the beginning of wisdom to fear the Lord, and obey His commandments. (Psalms 111 by H. Smith)
 His commandments are proved sure in them. They stand fast forever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. Hence to enjoy the fruit of them our path is to walk after the Lord's ways and reckon on the sureness of His promise, and if He tarry, wait for Him. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 107-113 by J.N. Darby)
 Obedience leads us to intelligence, being in the path of God. Light is truth in that path, and according to it. You cannot separate the true knowledge of divine things from godliness. (Practical Reflections on the Psalms: Psalms 107-113 by J.N. Darby)
