SEV Biblia, Chapter 85:10
La misericordia y la verdad se encontraron; la justicia y la paz se besaron.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 84:10
Verse 10. Mercy and truth are met together ] It would be more simple to translate the original: - wgpn tmaw dsj wqn wlw qdx Chesed veemeth niphgashu; Tsedek veshalom nashaku, - "Mercy and truth have met on the way Righteousness and peace have embraced." This is a remarkable text, and much has been said on it: but there is a beauty in it which, I think, has not been noticed. Mercy and peace are on one side; truth and righteousness on the other.
Truth requires righteousness; mercy calls for peace.
They meet together on the way; one going to make inquisition for sin, the other to plead for reconciliation. Having met, their differences on certain considerations, not here particularly mentioned are adjusted; and their mutual claims are blended together in one common interest; on which peace and righteousness immediately embrace. Thus, righteousness is given to truth, and peace is given to mercy.
Now, Where did these meet? In Christ Jesus.
When were they reconciled? When he poured out his life on Calvary.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 8-13 - Sooner or later, God will speak peace to his people. If he do no command outward peace, yet he will suggest inward peace; speaking to their hearts by his Spirit. Peace is spoken only to those who turn from sin. All sin is folly, especially backsliding; it is the greatest foll to return to sin. Surely God's salvation is nigh, whatever ou difficulties and distresses are. Also, his honour is secured, tha glory may dwell in our land. And the truth of the promises is shown by the Divine mercy in sending the Redeemer. The Divine justice is no satisfied by the great atonement. Christ, the way, truth, and life sprang out of the earth when he took our nature upon him, and Divin justice looked upon him well pleased and satisfied. For his sake all good things, especially his Holy Spirit, are given to those who as him. Through Christ, the pardoned sinner becomes fruitful in goo works, and by looking to and trusting in the Saviour's righteousness finds his feet set in the way of his steps. Righteousness is a sure guide, both in meeting God, and in following his __________________________________________________________________
