Holy Scripture

Psalms 84:11

A church father on this verse
“For God loves mercy and truth. Two things God loves, mercy and truth. If he were only merciful, he would provoke us all to sins: if he loved only truth, no one would have hope of repentance. For this reason he seeks two things, and tempers the one by the other. If you are a sinner, hear that God is merciful, and do no…”
Jerome, 5th c. — Homily 16, on Psalm 83

9I will hear what the Lord God will say concerning me: For he shall speak peace to his people, And to his saints, And to those that turn their heart toward him.

10Moreover his salvation is near them that fear him; That glory may dwell in our land.

— Psalms 84:11 —

12Truth has sprung out of the earth; And righteousness has looked down from heaven.

13For the Lord will give goodness; And our land shall yield her fruit.
