Bible Verses for
Mercy
Verses about God's steadfast mercy, His compassion for the broken, and our call to show mercy to others.
Mercy is one of the great words of the Bible. Lamentations 3:22-23 reminds us that God's mercies are 'new every morning' — not rationed, not exhausted, not conditional on how well we did yesterday. The Hebrew word *hesed* — often translated as steadfast love or mercy — appears hundreds of times in the Old Testament. It describes a love that will not let go. Whether you need to receive mercy or find the grace to show it, these verses are for you.
