From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

The works of his hands -All that he does in the works of creation and providence; all in his acts toward the children of men. Are verity -Truth. That is, They tend to establish and confirm the truth; they are done in the cause or the defense of truth. Truth in any case may be ascertained by what God “does,” for all that he defends and protects is “truth,” and his acts, therefore, may be regarded as an expression of what is true and right. And judgment -In the cause of justice; or, in maintaining the principles of right. God never does anything to vindicate wrong.
