Psalms 116:5. Gracious is the LORD, and righteous; yea, our God is merciful.
The psalmist was delivered by an act of grace, yet it was an act of righteousness, for God is not unrighteous to break his own promise, and he has promised to help his people. Grace and righteousness both guarantee answers to believing prayers, and mercy comes in to make assurance doubly sure: "Yea, our God is merciful."
