The psalmist's tongue will sing of God's word because all God's commandments are righteous, completing the linguistic movement from petition through understanding to praise. This verse emphasizes that righteous ordinances naturally produce singing: the objectivity of God's justice generates the subjective response of joyful utterance. The tongue singing (rather than merely speaking) indicates music and celebration: encounter with God's righteous law produces not merely intellectual assent but joyful overflow. The causal connection between righteousness and singing suggests that those who truly recognize God's law's justice cannot contain their praise. This verse represents the psalm's deepest integration: having sought, questioned, suffered, endured, and learned, the psalmist now sings. The Taw stanza culminates in comprehensive praise.
