'Merciful' in the Bible

"Look, now," his advisors suggested, "we've heard that the Israeli kings are merciful. So let's clothe ourselves with sackcloth, tie our hair back with ropes, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he'll spare your life."

Nevertheless, in your great compassion you did not completely destroy them or abandon them, because you are a God of grace and you are merciful.

But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity and didn't destroy them; He restrained his anger and didn't vent all his wrath.

But you, Lord, are a compassionate God, merciful and patient, with unending gracious love and faithfulness.

Gracious and merciful is the LORD, slow to become angry, and overflowing with gracious love.

Your kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and your authority endures from one generation to another. God is faithful about everything he says and merciful in everything he does.

You will remain true to Jacob, and merciful to Abraham, as you promised our ancestors long ago.
