Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Psalms 85:10

_ _ God’s promises of “mercy” will be verified by His “truth” (compare Psalms 25:10; Psalms 40:10); and the “work of righteousness” in His holy government shall be “peace” (Isaiah 32:17). There is an implied contrast with a dispensation under which God’s truth sustains His threatened wrath, and His righteousness inflicts misery on the wicked.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Psalms 85:8-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Psalms 85:10

Kissed — That great work of redemption by Christ, shall clearly manifest God's mercy in redeeming his people Israel, and in the conversion of the Gentiles; his truth in fulfilling that great promise of sending his son, his righteousness in punishing sin, on his son, and in conferring righteousness upon guilty and lost creatures; and his peace or reconciliation to sinners, and that peace of conscience which attends upon it.
