"Mercy and truth have met together.

Grim justice and peace have kissed.

Truth rises from the earth and righteousness smiles down from heaven.

Yes, the Lord pours down His blessings on the land and it yields its bountiful crops.

Justice goes before him to make a pathway for his steps."

~ Psalm 85:10-13 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "These characters -- mercy, truth, justice, and peace -- are not opponents who have made a truce, but co-laborers who have joined hands in working together. They are the outflowing of righteousness on the earth."
