Commentary on Psalms 85:10

Theological / Devotional

Mercy and truth. The exquisite example of synonymous parallelism displayed in this verse joins in each clause the two cardinal attributes of God’s character (see Ps. 25:10 ; 72:3). In picturesque figures of personification the whole plan of salvation is epitomized.

Have kissed. Justice and pardon, seemingly alienated from each other, embrace as loving friends.
