Psalms 57:3

3. from . . . swallow me up—that pants in rage after me (Ps 56:2).

mercy and . . . truth— (Ps 25:10; 36:5), as messengers (Ps 43:3) sent to deliver him.

Psalms 85:10

10. God's promises of "mercy" will be verified by His "truth" (compare Ps 25:10; 40:10); and the "work of righteousness" in His holy government shall be "peace" (Isa 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.
