Contradiction with Proverbs 28:13
This verse suggests that mercy is conditional upon confessing and forsaking sin, whereas Psalms 85:7 appeals for God's mercy without such a condition being directly mentioned.
Proverbs 28:13: He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh [them] shall have mercy.
Contradiction with Isaiah 59:2
This verse indicates that iniquities separate individuals from God, which contradicts the plea for divine mercy in Psalms 85:7, suggesting a barrier rather than an open granting of mercy.
Isaiah 59:2: But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid [his] face from you, that he will not hear. [have hid: or, have made him hide]
Contradiction with James 2:13
This verse asserts that judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful, potentially contradicting the plea for unconditional mercy in Psalms 85:7.
James 2:13: For he shall have judgment without mercy, that hath shewed no mercy; and mercy rejoiceth against judgment. [rejoiceth: or, glorieth]
Contradiction with Galatians 6:7
This verse teaches that a person reaps what they sow, which could contradict the appeal for mercy in Psalms 85:7 if it implies receiving grace without regard to one's actions.
Galatians 6:7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Contradiction with Matthew 7:23
This verse speaks of rejection of those who work iniquity, contradicting the prayer for mercy found in Psalms 85:7 since it implies no mercy is given to those in sin.
Matthew 7:23: And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
