Psalms 85:10-13

Psalms 85:10-13

[10] Mercy  and truth  are met together;  righteousness  and peace  have kissed  [11] Truth  shall spring out  of the earth;  and righteousness  shall look down  from heaven.  [12] Yea, the LORD  shall give  that which is good;  and our land  shall yield  her increase.  [13] Righteousness  shall go  before  him; and shall set  us in the way  of his steps. 

What does Psalms 85:10-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Lovingkindness (i.e, loyal love) and righteousness are what God provides. Truth and peace are what the objects of His blessing experience. They unite when God"s people return to Him and He responds with blessing. Productive harvests are a blessing God promised His people if they walked in obedience to the Mosaic covenant ( Deuteronomy 28:1-14; Deuteronomy 30:1-16).
This psalm is full of very important terms: righteousness, peace, loyal love, truth, fear, glory, and salvation-to name a few. When people get right with God in the fundamental areas of life, His choicest blessings are not far behind. However, we have to wait for Him to provide blessing after repentance, as God patiently waits before bringing judgment for sin.
