'Be Merciful' in the Bible

Has God forgotten to be merciful? Has his anger stifled his compassion?"

Lord, be merciful to us! We wait for you. Give us strength each morning! Deliver us when distress comes.

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

The tax collector, however, stood far off and would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, 'God, be merciful to me, sinner that I am!'

"For I will be merciful toward their evil deeds, and their sins I will remember no longer."
