Psalms 145:10
"The LORD is good to all. His tender mercies are over all his works."
Key Reflection
In the ancient world, Psalms 145:10 emphasized a key aspect of the Israelite understanding of God's character and sovereignty. The psalmist declared that Yahweh’s goodness extended to all people and creatures, reflecting the divine concern for creation beyond just his chosen people. This verse would have resonated with an audience familiar with polytheistic deities who often favored their own followers, highlighting instead a universal providence that cared for every aspect of the world under God's watchful eye.
