Power and Mercy Combined
Commentators emphasize that God's power, mentioned in the previous verse, would be terrifying if not paired with His lovingkindness (mercy). Albert Barnes notes that we need to know not just that God is powerful, but how He wields that power. The psalm reassures us that God's might is joined with mercy, making Him a safe and trustworthy refuge rather than a source of fear.
