They that trust on him will understand truth, And the faithful will abide with him in love; Because grace and mercy are to his chosen.
But as for the peoples, seeing and understanding not, Neither laying this to heart, That grace and mercy are with his chosen, And that he visiteth his holy ones:—
For the man of low estate may be pardoned in mercy, But mighty men will be searched out mightily.
O God of the fathers, and Lord who keep your mercy, Who made all things by your word;
For by what things their foes were punished, By these they in their need were benefited.
To rebuke the decree for the slaying of babes, You gave them abundant water beyond all hope,
For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy chastened, They learned how the ungodly were tormented, being judged with wrath:
For when they heard that through their own punishments the others had been benefited, They felt the presence of the Lord;
For him who long before was cast forth and exposed they left off mocking: In the last issue of what came to pass they marveled, Having thirsted in another manner than the righteous.
But you have mercy on all men, because you have power to do all things, And you overlookest the sins of men to the end they may repent.
For you love all things that are, And abhor none of the things which you did make; For never would you have formed anything if you did hate it.
But you spare all things, because they are your, O Soverign Lord, you lover of men’s lives;
Wherefore you convictest by little and little those who fall from the right way, And, putting them in remembrance by the very things wherein they sin, do you admonish them, That escaping from their wickedness they may believe on you, O Lord.
Nevertheless even these you did spare as being men, And you sent hornets as forerunners of your army, To cause them to perish by little and little;
But judging them by little and little you gave them a place of repentance, Not being ignorant that their nature by birth was evil, and their wickedness inborn, And that their manner of thought would in no wise ever be changed,
But being righteous you rule all things righteously, Deeming it a thing alien from your power To condemn one that does not himself deserve to be punished.
But you, being sovereign over your strength, judge in gentleness, And with great forbearance do you govern us; For the power is your whenever you have the will.
For if on those who were enemies of your servants and due to death You did take vengeance with so great heedfulness and indulgence, Giving them times and place whereby they might escape from their wickedness;
While therefore you do chasten us, you scourge our enemies ten thousand times more, To the intent that we may ponder your goodness when we judge, And when we are judged may look for mercy.
But you, our God, are gracious and true, Longsuffering, and in mercy ordering all things.
For even when terrible raging of wild beasts came upon your people, And they were perishing by the bites of crooked serpents, Your wrath continued not to the uttermost;
For he that turned toward it was not saved because of that which was seen, But because of you, the Saviour of all.
But your sons not the very teeth of venomous dragons overcame, For your mercy passed by where they were, and healed them.
For they were bitten, to put them in remembrance of your oracles; And were quickly saved, lest, falling into deep forgetfulness, They should become unable to be roused by your beneficence:
For your nature manifested your sweetness toward your children; While that bread, ministering to the desire of the eater, Tempered itself according to every man’s choice.
But upon the ungodly there came to the end indignation without mercy; For their future also God foreknew,
For in all things, O Lord, you did magnify your people, And you did glorify them and not lightly regard them; Standing by their side in every time and place.
You⌃ that fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; And turn not aside, lest you⌃ fall.
You⌃ that fear the Lord, hope for good things, And for eternal gladness and mercy.
For the Lord is full of compassion and mercy; And he forgives sins, and saves in time of affliction.
saying, We will fall into the hands of the Lord, And not into the hands of men: For as his majesty is, So also is his mercy.
In the day of your affliction it will remember you; As fair weather upon ice, So will your sins also melt away.
Water will quench a flaming fire; And almsgiving will make atonement for sins.
My son, deprive not the poor of his living, And make not the needy eyes to wait long.
Make not a hungry soul sorrowful; Neither provoke a man in his distress.
To a heart that is provoked add not more trouble; And defer not to give to him that is in need.
Reject not a suppliant in his affliction; And turn not away your face from a poor man.
Turn not away your eye from one that asks of you, And give none occasion to a man to curse you:
For if he curse you in the bitterness of his soul, He that made him will hear his supplication.
Say not, I sinned, and what happened to me? For the Lord is longsuffering.
And say not, His compassion is great; He will be pacified for the multitude of my sins: For mercy and wrath are with him, And his indignation will rest upon sinners.
Laugh not a man to scorn when he is in the bitterness of his soul; For there is one who humbles and exalts.
Be not lacking to those who weep; And mourn with those who mourn.
Be not slow to visit a sick man; For by such things you will gain love.
Reproach not a man when he turns from sin: Remember that we are all worthy of punishment.
There is one that is sluggish, and has need of help, Lacking in strength, and that abounds in poverty; And the eyes of the Lord looked upon him for good, And he set him up from his low estate,
He that keeps not to himself words spoken is unmerciful; And he will not spare to hurt and to bind.
Even if there be one stiff-necked person, It is marvel if he will be unpunished: For mercy and wrath are with him; He is mighty to forgive, and he pours out wrath.
As his mercy is great, so is his correction also: He judges a man according to his works.
He will make room for every work of mercy; Each man will find according to his works.
With him the alms of a man is as a signet; And he will keep the bounty of a man as the apple of the eye.
How great is the mercy of the Lord, And his forgiveness to those who turn to him!
Who shall number the strength of his majesty? And who shall also tell out his mercies?
For this cause the Lord was longsuffering over them, And poured out his mercy upon them.
He saw and perceived their end, that it is evil; Therefore he multiplied his forgiveness.
The mercy of a man is upon his neighbor; But the mercy of the Lord is upon all flesh; Reproving, and chastening, and teaching, And bringing again, as a shepherd does his flock.
He has mercy on those who accept chastening, And that diligently seek after his judgements.
Supplication from a poor man’s mouth reaches to the ears of God, And his judgement comes speedily.
Forgive your neighbor the hurt that he has done you; And then your sins will be pardoned when you pray.
Upon a man like himself he has no mercy; And does he make supplication for his own sins?
He that shows mercy will lend to his neighbor; And he that strengthens him with his hand keeps the commandments.
Help a poor man for the commandment’s sake; And according to his need send him not empty away.
Help your neighbor according to your power, And take heed to yourself that you fall not to the same.
If you have a servant, let him be as yourself, Because you have bought him with blood.
If you have a servant, treat him as yourself; For as your own soul will you have need of him: If you treat him ill, and he depart and run away, Which way will you go to seek him?
Till he have rendered to every man according to his doings, And to the works of men according to their plans; Till he have judged the cause of his people; And he shall make them to rejoice in his mercy.
Mercy is seasonable in the time of his afflicting them, As clouds of rain in the time of drought.
Have mercy upon us, O Lord the God of all, and behold;
O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by your name, And upon Israel, whom you did liken to a firstborn.
If there is on her tongue mercy and meekness, Her husband is not like the sons of men.
But these were men of mercy, Whose righteous deeds have not been forgotten.
And he brought out of him a man of mercy, Which found favor in the sight of all flesh; A man beloved of God and men, even Moses, Whose memorial is blessed.
Also in the time of Moses he did a work of mercy, He and Caleb the son of Jephunneh, In that they withstood the adversary, Hindered the people from sin, And stilled the murmuring of wickedness.
But the Lord will never forsake his mercy; And he will not destroy any of his works, Nor blot out the posterity of his elect; And the seed of him that loved him he will not take away; And he gave a remnant to Jacob, And to David a root out of him.
And they called upon the Lord which is merciful, Spreading forth their hands to him: And the Holy One heard them speedily out of Heaven, And delivered them by the hand of Isaiah.
And the people implored the Lord Most High, In prayer before him that is merciful. Till the worship of the Lord should be ended; And so they accomplished his service.
And now bless you⌃ the God of all, Which everywhere does great things, Which exalts our days from the womb, And deals with us according to his mercy.
To intrust his mercy with us; And let him deliver us in his time!
And did deliver me, according to the abundance of your mercy, and greatness of your name, From the gnashings of teeth ready to devour, Out of the hand of such as sought my life, Out of the manifold afflictions which I had;
And I remembered your mercy, O Lord, And your working which has been from everlasting, How you deliver those who wait for you, And save them out of the hand of the enemies.
May your soul rejoice in his mercy, And may you⌃ not be put to shame in praising him.
Let your wrath turn from us: for we are but a few left among the heathen, where you have scattered us.
Hear our prayer, O Lord, and our petition, and deliver us for your own sake, and give us favor in the sight of them which have led us away captive:
O Lord, look down from your holy house, and consider us: incline your ear, O Lord, and hear:
Yet, O Lord our God, you have dealt with us after all your kindness, and according to all that great mercy of your,
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy; for you are a merciful God: yes, have mercy upon us, because we have sinned before you.
Remember not the iniquities of our fathers: but remember your power and your name now at this time.
For I have trusted in the Everlasting, that he will save you; and joy is come to me from the Holy One, because of the mercy which shall soon come to you from the Everlasting your Saviour.
For God shall lead Israel with joy in the light of his glory with the mercy and righteousness that comes from him.
They can show no mercy to the widow, nor do good to the fatherless.
and cause not your mercy to depart from us, for the sake of Abraham that is beloved of you, and for the sake of Isaac your servant, and Israel your holy one;
Neither is there at this time prince, or prophet, or leader, or burned offering, or sacrifice, or oblation, or incense, or place to offer before you, and to find mercy.
And now we follow you with all our heart, we fear you, and seek your face. Put us not to shame: but deal with us after your kindness, and according to the multitude of your mercy.
O give thanks to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endures forever.
O all you⌃ that worship the Lord, bless the God of gods, praise him, and give him thanks: for his mercy endures forever.

And they returned home, and sang a song of thanksgiving, and gave praise to heaven; because his mercy is good, because his mercy endures forever.
And instead of the third part of the seed, and instead of the half of the fruit of the trees, which falls to me to receive, I release it from this day and henceforth, so that I will not take it from the land of Judah, and from the three governments which are added thereto from the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth and for all time.
And every soul of the Jews, that has been carried captive from the land of Judah into any part of my kingdom, I set at liberty without price; and let all remit the tributes of their cattle also.
