Psalms85:11
11 Truth shall spring out of the earth : and righteousness shall look down from heaven .
Either 1. Truth among men, which shall be so common amongst all men, as if it grew out of the earth. Or rather, 2. The truth or faithfulness of God; which is most truly and fitly said to spring out of the earth, partly because it had long been hid and buried like a root in a dry ground, without any hopes of a reviving; from whence yet God made it to grow, as is noted, Isa. 53. 2. and partly because Christ, who is the truth, Iohn 14. 6. and a minister of the circumcision, (i. e. of the circumcised, or of the Jews) for the truth of God to confirm the promises made unto the fathers, was born upon the earth of a Virgin's Womb.
Even God's Justice, which was offended with men, shall then be satisfied, and shall through Christ look down upon sinful men with a reconciled and smiling countenance.
