How does Psalm 85 demonstrate the concept of God's righteousness?

Answered in 1 source

Psalm 85 illustrates God's righteousness by showing how mercy and truth meet, and righteousness is fulfilled in Christ.

In Psalm 85:10, it states, 'Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.' This beautiful imagery reveals the harmony and balance of God's character, showing that His righteousness does not exclude mercy. Instead, it is through Christ that God's righteousness is satisfied, as He bore the sins of His people, allowing God to be just while justifying the sinner. This profound truth emphasizes that God's righteousness is not only about judgment but also about grace, as He reconciles us to Himself through Christ's sacrificial death. For believers, this encourages a deep assurance in God's justice and mercy working in concert for our salvation.
