“God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God.”
The assertion that power belongs to God and steadfast love belongs to God establishes the divine attributes that undergird the entire theology of the psalm. The reference to rendering to each according to their deeds establishes that God's power is exercised with justice: outcomes correspond to actions. The mention of both power and love indicates that divine governance is not arbitrary but just and merciful. This verse provides the theological foundation for the entire exhortation: God's character is reliable and just.
