The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes... You are good and do good; teach me your statutes. (Psalm 119: 64 + 68)
Psalm 119 is a long meditation on the statutes, laws, precepts, and principles of God.
The Hebrew translated here as statute is choq. It is a decree, ordinance, or limitation. It is guidance that has been enscribed or written. A recipe is a kind of choq.
A choq is a written instruction for doing something.
We seek to act as God would have us act. To do as God intends is to fulfill our purpose.
The intent of God is loving and good. God has given us guidance to love and do good.
