14 The Right and Justice are the roots of your rule; Love and Truth are its fruits.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.
14 Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne. Unfailing love and truth walk before you as attendants.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 89:14
Commentary on Psalm 89:5-14
(Read Psalm 89:5-14)
The more God's works are known, the more they are admired. And to praise the Lord, is to acknowledge him to be such a one that there is none like him. Surely then we should feel and express reverence when we worship God. But how little of this appears in our congregations, and how much cause have we to humble ourselves on this account! That almighty power which smote Egypt, will scatter the enemies of the church, while all who trust in God's mercy will rejoice in his name; for mercy and truth direct all he does. His counsels from eternity, and their consequences to eternity, are all justice and judgment.
