Mercy and truth have met together; righteousness and peace have kissed.
For the Lord is good; His mercy endures forever, and His faithfulness to all generations.
May the mountains bring peace to the people, and the hills, in righteousness.
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne; mercy and truth go before Your presence.
Let not mercy and truth forsake you; bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
Surely, one shall say, “Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.” Men shall come to him, and all who are incensed at Him shall be ashamed.
I bring My righteousness near; it shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not tarry. And I will grant salvation in Zion, and My glory for Israel.

“Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, and good will toward men.”
For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
so that just as sin reigned in death, grace might reign through righteousness unto eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
