"Unto You, O Lord, belongs mercy; for You render to every man according to his work."
Some translators make it kindness and goodness; but I presume there is no real difference among them as to the character of the word which here, in the English Bible, is translated mercy.
The religious mind, however, educated upon the theories yet prevailing in the so-called religious world, must here recognize a departure from the presentation to which they have been accustomed: to make the psalm speak according to prevalent theoretic modes, the verse would have to be changed thus:--
To You, O Lord, belongs justice, for You render to every man according to his work. ~George MacDonald
