Because it’s difficult for people to balance justice/righteousness with love/mercy, some project their own inability onto God, who is perfectly both. He is not merely one or the other; many psalms of praise recognize this:

The LORD loves righteousness and justice; the earth is full of his unfailing love.
~ Psalm 33:5
Righteousness and justice are the foundation of your throne; love and faithfulness go before you.
~ Psalm 89:14
I will sing of your love and justice; to you, LORD, I will sing praise.
~ Psalm 101:1
