The Pulpit Commentary on Psalms 145:17

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public domain

The Lord is righteous in all his ways, and holy (rather, gracious, or merciful) in all his works. Mercy and truth meet in God (Psalms 85:10). He is at once perfectly just, and absolutely tender and compassionate.

"All his works" experience both his justice and his tenderness (comp. Psalms 25:8; Psalms 116:5, etc.).
