Psalms 146:6

(6) Truth.—Or, faithfulness. The connection of this feature of the Divine character with the creative act is worthy of notice. That act alone was for the universe a promise and pledge, just as the covenant was a peculiar promise to Israel. Tennyson has put the same thought into verse:

“Thou madest man, he knows not why;He thinks he was not made to die;And Thou hast made him: Thou art just.”
