Psalms 100:5

For the Lord (Yahweh) is good [he has the best will],
forever [lasts]
his mercy (caring love – Hebr. chesed)
and from generation to generation (from generation to generation) [endures]
his faithfulness (truth, steadfastness – Hebr. emonah).
[The verse forms a chiasm in which God's mercy is central and framed by the "time references" forever and from generation to generation. The outer frame consists of the Lord's goodness and faithfulness/truth. The Hebrew text has ki-tov JHVH (literally: "for good Yahweh"). There is no word for "is" here. According to the Greek way of thinking—which has influenced us in the West—goodness can exist independently of God. Goodness is therefore not considered one of God's attributes. In the Jewish worldview, however, these two concepts are inseparable. It is impossible to see goodness without seeing God. To deny God's goodness is to deny God himself. There is no goodness separate from God – God and goodness belong together. Throughout the Bible, mercy and truth are companions, see 2 Sam. 15:20; Prov 3:4; 16:6; Ps. 85:10; John 1:14. The first time these words appear together is in God's own testimony, see Ex. 34:6. Grace without truth becomes ineffective, while truth without grace becomes merciless. Both grace and truth are necessary, and grace is always mentioned first.]
