In these verses, the Levites continue to praise Yahweh in the presence of the people of Israel.

## you led them ##

Here "you" refers to Yahweh, and "them" refers to the Israelites.

## to light up the way for them so they could walk in its light ##

AT: "to light up the way they should go"

## you came down ##

When God talks with his people, he is often described as "coming down" or "coming down from heaven."  This is a descriptive way of saying that God appeared to that person. AT: "you appeared" or "you came down from heaven"  (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-idiom]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])

## righteous decrees and true laws, good statutes and commandments ##

Both of these double phrases describe the same thing: God's Law or The Ten Commandments. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
