On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

, symphemi -- I give my vote to the law; here is the approbation of the judgment. Wherever there is grace there is not only a dread of the severity of the law, but a consent to the goodness of the law. "It is a good in itself, it is good for me." This is a sign that the law is written in the heart, that the soul is delivered into the mould of it.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

If then I do that which I would not--"But if what I would not that I do," I consent unto the law that it is good--"the judgment of my inner man going along with the law."

Jamieson, Fausset & Brown· Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible, 1871reformed

It is good - This single word implies all the three that were used before, ver. 12, "holy, just, and good."
