Gill's Exposition on Psalms 25:10
All the paths of the Lord [are] mercy and truth,.... By which are meant, not the paths in which the Lord would have his people walk; though these are good and gracious, right and true; his
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Psalms 25:10
All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. The paths of the Lord are mercy and truth.
Matthew Poole's Commentary on Psalms 25:10
All the dealings of God with them, yea, even those that are afflictive and grievous to the flesh, are done in kindness and faithfulness to them, as being very necessary for them, and tending to their great advantage. His covenant, i.e. the laws or conditions required of them by his covenant; or, as it follows, his testimonies, i.e. his precepts, which are the testimonies or witnesses of God’ s will, and of man’ s duty.
Trapp's Commentary on Psalms 25:10
Psalms 25:10 All the paths of the LORD [are] mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.Ver. 10. All the paths of the Lord are mercy and truth] All the passages and proceedings, both ordinantial and providential, whereby he cometh and communicateth himself to his people, are not only mercy (though that is very sweet), but truth; they come to them in a way of a promise from God, as bound to them by covenant; this is soul-satisfying indeed; this turns all that a man hath to cream, when every mercy is a present sent him from heaven by virtue of a promise. Unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies] i.e. His law (that singular testimony of his goodness towards them), called a covenant, because he bargaineth with us, as it were, that we should keep it; which because we can never do, he undertaketh to perform his own part and ours too. Lex iubet, gratis iuvat, he worketh all our works in us, and for us; he giveth us to be what he biddeth us to be: this is the everlasting covenant, and the fruits of it are sure mercies, compassions that fail not.
Ellicott's Commentary on Psalms 25:10
(10) Mercy and truth.—Or, grace and truth; recalling John 1:4-17, and showing how the conception of God and His ways was gradually passing over from the domain of the Law to that of the Gospel.
Adam Clarke's Commentary on Psalms 25:10
Verse 10. All the paths of the Lord] ארחות orchoth signifies the tracks or ruts made by the wheels of wagons by often passing over the same ground. Mercy and truth are the paths in which God constantly walks in reference to the children of men; and so frequently does he show them mercy, and so frequently does he fulfil his truth, that his paths are earnestly discerned. How frequent, how deeply indented, and how multiplied are those tracks to every family and individual! Wherever we go, we see that God's mercy and truth have been there by the deep tracks they have left behind them. But he is more abundantly merciful to those who keep his covenant and his testimonies; i.e. those who are conformed, not only to the letter, but to the spirit of his pure religion.
Cambridge Bible on Psalms 25:10
10. In all His dealings Jehovah proves His loving purpose and His faithfulness to His promises to those who on their part are faithful to Him, keeping the covenant inaugurated by circumcision (Genesis 17:2 ff.), and ratified at Sinai (Exodus 19:5; Exodus 24:7-8); of which the Ark of the Covenant (Numbers 10:33) was the outward sign, and the Ten Words written on the Tables of the Covenant were the fundamental charter (Deuteronomy 9:9). Jehovah’s testimonies are His commandments, as witnessing to His will. See note on Psalms 19:7. mercy and truth] R.V. lovingkindness and truth. So He proclaimed Himself to Moses, as a God ‘plenteous in lovingkindness and truth’ (Exodus 34:6).
Barnes' Notes on Psalms 25:10
All the paths of the Lord - All the ways that the Lord takes; all that He commands; all that He does. The “paths of the Lord” denote the course in which He himself walks, or His dealings with His creatures.
Whedon's Commentary on Psalms 25:10
10. Paths of the Lord—His methods or dispensations. Mercy and truth—Thus uniting tenderness with firmness, compassion with immutability, answering to “grace and truth:” John 1:17.
