EXPLANATION

Verse 11. Kissed. Or, “embraced,” like friends, as the ancient psalters read. The people practised these virtues after the captivity, and more particularly in the Church of Christ. Calmet.—At the time appointed, He reconciled sinners to his Father, having satisfied his justice, (Bert.) and displayed his own mercy. Menochius.—Thus justice is strictly observed, and peace made between God and man. Worthington.—The justice of the Father and the mercy of the Son kiss each other. D. Bible.
