**בִּדְרָכָיו הָלָכוּ.** אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁלֹּא פָּעֲלוּ עַוְלָה, אֵין שְׂכָרָם שָׁלֵם אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן בִּדְרָכָיו הָלָכוּ. וְכֵן הוּא אוֹמֵר ״סוּר מֵרָע וַעֲשֵׂה טוֹב״ (תהלים לד:טו) – אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁאַתָּה סָר מֵרָע, אֵין הַכֹּל שָׁלֵם אֶלָּא אִם כֵּן תַּעֲשֶׂה טוֹב (מדרש אגדה):

**The Judaica Press complete Tanach with Rashi, translated by A. J. Rosenberg:**
**they walked in His ways** Although they committed no injustice, their reward is incomplete unless they walked in His ways. And so he says (above 43:15): “Shun evil and do good.” Even though you shun evil, everything is not complete unless you do good. Midrash Aggadah.

I saw [it] further expounded upon in the Aggadah (Yerushalmi Ber. 9:4, Mid.

**Because I loved** Heb. על-כן. Because I loved Your commandments, it is fitting that You teach me a time of good will, and what I should do for You that You should accept me. There are many [instances of] על-כן that are to be interpreted as “because”; e.g., (Gen. 33:10): “because (כי על-כן) I have seen your face”; (Num. 10:33). “because (כי על-כן) you know our encampment”; (Isa. 15: 7), “Because of (כי על-כן) the many things they did.”

**I rejoice over Your word** Over Your promise that You promised me. Another explanation: Over one of Your enigmatic statements, when I understand it. Our Rabbis, however, interpreted it as referring to circumcision, for [when] David was in the bathhouse and saw himself without zizith, without tefillin, and without Torah, he said, “Woe is to me, for I am naked of all commandments.” As soon as he thought of the circumcision, he rejoiced and said when he emerged (from the bathhouse), “I rejoice over Your word.” [This refers to] circumcision, which was first given with a saying (אמירה), and not with speaking (דיבור), as it is said (Gen. 17:9): “And God said (ויאמר) to Abraham, ‘And you shall keep My covenant.’”
