Pamela, I can explain the Statutes (not statues) of the LORD, but it would be helpful to you (I hope) that the other similar utterings from God be quickly explained. So when you read the Scriptures, you will know what they mean.
Commandments: are Orders or Charges.
Judgements: instructions as to what to do in a situation.
Statutes (also given as Ordinances): decrees or requirements or boundaries set by God.
Law: is a general word to encompass the above, but of course, Law can be given by God or man.
That is a very brief description that may help you even though it may seem a little puzzling to us today. The Jews who read their Torah, the Psalms & the Prophets, knew well the meaning of those words & how they applied to them.
