Psalm 116:5 Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
We see here three descriptions of the Lord: gracious, righteous, and merciful. God must be righteous before He can be gracious or merciful. Because God is holy, He has to be righteous. Psalm 99:9 Exalt the LORD our God, and worship [...]

Psalm 116:2 Because he hath inclined his ear unto me, therefore will I call upon him as long as I live.
Psalm 116:9 I will walk before the LORD in the land of the living.
Nathanael Hardy wrote: If you cast your eyes on Psalm 116:1, you find a profession of love – “I love the [...]
