And[2] "law" [sc. is mentioned] as something which brings rhythm and order to the best constitution; but "testimony", as something which bears witness to wrongdoers and exhibits the penalty for their transgression; but "statutes", as things which teach what is just and prohibit what is unjust and display those who do rightly as being just; but "commandment", as something authorizing the performance of what should be done and ordaining despotically; but "judgments", as being what exhibits and informs the verdicts -- he who observes them will gain benefits, while he who transgresses will be given up to punishments.

Psalms 18.8-10
LXX: "the law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether" (KJV).
