In fact, you came only yesterday. Should I make you wander up and down with us today, since I go I know not where? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you.”

All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth, To such as keep His covenant and His testimonies.

He shall abide before God forever. Oh, prepare mercy and truth, which may preserve him!

Mercy and truth have met together; Righteousness and peace have kissed.

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; Mercy and truth go before Your face.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart,

Do they not go astray who devise evil? But mercy and truth belong to those who devise good.

In mercy and truth Atonement is provided for iniquity; And by the fear of the Lord one departs from evil.

Mercy and truth preserve the king, And by lovingkindness he upholds his throne.
