The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom; all those who practice it have a good understanding. His praise endures forever. The psalm culminates in the principle that 'fear of the LORD' constitutes the foundation of wisdom. The practical outworking of this fear ('those who practice it') leads to 'good understanding.' The eternal praise of God concludes the listing of God's attributes and works. This verse establishes that covenant relationship with God is simultaneously the beginning of all genuine knowledge and the basis for perpetual praise.
