Psalm 85:10-11

For almost three months now, I've been reading a Psalm a day, in the NIV translation for a change.  Last week, I read Psalm 85, and I noticed all of the directions in verses 10-11:  "10 Love and faithfulness meet together; righteousness and peace kiss each other.  11 Faithfulness springs forth from the earth, and righteousness looks down from heaven."

"Meet[ing] together" and "kiss[ing] each other" seem to imply horizontal movement, and "spring[ing] forth from the earth" and "look[ing] down from heaven" describe vertical directions, so within these two verses, there are left and right and up and down.  Referring to all of these various directions provides a sense of the abundance of these qualities, which the next verse also seems to describe:  "The LORD will indeed give what is good, and our land will yield its harvest."
