Psalm 89 (1- 18)

Verses 1,2 talk about the mercy of the Lord.

Mercy is what God is.

Exodus 34:5,6
Now the Lord descended in the cloud and stood with him there, and proclaimed the name of the LordAnd the Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long suffering, and abounding in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, by no means clearing the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children to the third and the fourth generation.”

God when He revealed Himself to Moses, He tells who He is and He proclaimed the name of the LORD.

merciful and gracious.

The first thing that God tells about Himself is merciful and gracious. God has been merciful throughout generations.
Right from Adam, till now we can see many many testimonies which reveals Gods mercy.
Today if we are able to gather here in His Name, is because He is merciful towards all of us.

Verse 14: 

Righteousness and Justice are Foundations of Your Throne.

Throne is the place where God dwells.
For God to rule, the foundation of His throne is Righteousness and Justice.
Mercy and Truth go before  Face. 

For man, what comes first out of him is judging other people.
if your spouse makes some mistake, then you will immediately judge.
he is like that, she is like this.

James 2:13 says

Mercy triumps over judgement.

Kind mercy wins over harsh judgment every time.
