Psalms 85 Study & Commentary
Psalm 85 celebrates God’s restoration of Israel and pleads for a spiritual revival, famously stating that "mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other."
CONTEMPORARY APPLICATIONS
1. Revive Us Again: Revival is the work of God that causes His people to "rejoice in thee" (v. 6).2. The Harmony of Attributes: In the Gospel, God’s mercy and truth meet perfectly (v. 10). God remains just while justifying the sinner.
