filling his prescriptions

Psalm 111:7-10

Psalm 111:7 The works of His hands are truth and justice. All his prescriptions are reliable.
Psalm 111:8 They are sustained continually, permanently. They are made truly and honestly.
Psalm 111:9 He has sent redemption to his people. He has commanded his permanent covenant. His name is sacred and fearsome.
Psalm 111:10 The beginning of wisdom is fearing Yahveh. All those who are doing them have good insight. His praise stands continually!

filling his prescriptions

The “them” in verse 10 are the prescriptions of verse 7. We show our wisdom by following our Lord’s commands. Since his prescriptions are reliable, as we fill those prescriptions we show that we have gained insight. If we ignore his prescriptions, we show the opposite.

A pharmacist fills medical prescriptions, and the drugs distributed aid in the healing and recovery of the patients. I like that image because a similar thing is happening when we follow the prescriptions God has given us in his word.
