Psalms 145:9

King James Version (1769)

9 The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works.
Untruth

Misinterpretations often twist this verse to promote universalism, suggesting automatic salvation for all regardless of faith or repentance, which overlooks biblical calls to holiness and judgment; others claim it implies God endorses all behaviors or eliminates consequences for sin, ignoring His justice in passages like Romans 2:5-11, or restrict its application solely to the righteous, contradicting the inclusive 'all' while neglecting the psalm's context of praising God's righteous kingdom.

Truth

Psalms 145:9 declares God's inherent goodness extending universally to all creation, with His tender mercies encompassing every aspect of His works, portraying a compassionate Creator whose benevolence is not selective but overflows indiscriminately, offering comfort and assurance that divine kindness sustains the entire world despite human failings or natural hardships.
