Reading Psalms 119, we see the following words: 1. Commandments 2. Law 3. Way 4. Testimonies 5. Precepts 6. Judgments 7. Statutes 8. Ordinances 9. Word Deut 26: 16 - 19 reads > 16 “This day the Lord your God commands you to observe these statutes > and judgments; therefore you shall be careful to observe them with all > your heart and with all your soul. 17 Today you have proclaimed the > Lord to be your God, and that you will walk in His ways and keep His > statutes, His commandments, and His judgments, and that you will obey > His voice. 18 Also today the Lord has proclaimed you to be His special > people, just as He promised you, that you should keep all His > commandments, 19 and that He will set you high above all nations which > He has made, in praise, in name, and in honor, and that you may be a > holy people to the Lord your God, just as He has spoken.” Deut 6 : 1 reads > “Now this is the commandment, and these are the statutes and judgments > which the Lord your God has commanded to teach you, that you may > observe them in the land which you are crossing over to possess, There are many other places in the Old Testament where these words appear, but I couldn't quite grasp distinctly what they mean.
