   The plural construct forms consistently occur in clauses about responding to divine instruction. In Psalm 119:4 the APB renders that these are commanded to be kept diligently; Psalm 103:18 joins remembering them with doing them, while Psalm 119:110 says the speaker did not stray from them. They are also described as trustworthy in Psalm 111:7 and as a source of understanding in Psalm 119:104.

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across most occurrences, the APB presents the clauses with “precepts,” especially where they are kept, sought, remembered, or trusted. In Psalm 19:9 the verse is rendered with “judgments,” so the translation does not consistently isolate the lemma's contribution.
