Study Lenses

The verse centers on "all things", "stand", "judgments", and "slaves". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "all things" and "stand", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.

The nearby context moves from verse 90's "Your faithfulness endures from generation to generation..." into verse 92's "If Your law had not been my...", so "all things" and "stand" belong inside that flow. In Psalms context, the local focus is worship, trust, the LORD's kingship, and covenant mercy.

A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "all things" and "stand" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
