Kindness

Therefore know that the Lord your God, He is God, the faithful God who keeps covenant and mercy for a thousand generations with those who love Him and keep His commandments.

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.

To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

Make Your face shine upon Your servant; Save me for Your mercies’ sake.

Let Your mercy, O Lord, be upon us, Just as we hope in You.

The Lord is righteous in all His ways, Gracious in all His works.

If I say, “My foot slips,” Your mercy, O Lord, will hold me up.

The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.

For Your mercy reaches unto the heavens, And Your truth unto the clouds.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Also to You, O Lord, belongs mercy; For You render to each one according to his work.

Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.

For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, And abundant in mercy to all those who call upon You.

Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies and Your lovingkindnesses, For they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions; According to Your mercy remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O Lord.

Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, But to Your name give glory, Because of Your mercy, Because of Your truth.

Do not withhold Your tender mercies from me, O Lord; Let Your lovingkindness and Your truth continually preserve me.

But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

The Lord will command His lovingkindness in the daytime, And in the night His song shall be with me— A prayer to the God of my life.

The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; Do not forsake the works of Your hands.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord Forever.

And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us, And establish the work of our hands for us; Yes, establish the work of our hands.

But I have trusted in Your mercy; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, Because He has dealt bountifully with me.

Cause me to hear Your lovingkindness in the morning, For in You do I trust; Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, For I lift up my soul to You.

But I will sing of Your power; Yes, I will sing aloud of Your mercy in the morning; For You have been my defense And refuge in the day of my trouble.

Because Your lovingkindness is better than life, My lips shall praise You. Thus I will bless You while I live; I will lift up my hands in Your name.

Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.

But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting On those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children’s children, To such as keep His covenant, And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

What is desired in a man is kindness, And a poor man is better than a liar.

He who follows righteousness and mercy Finds life, righteousness, and honor.

Let not mercy and truth forsake you; Bind them around your neck, Write them on the tablet of your heart, And so find favor and high esteem In the sight of God and man.

Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, When it is in the power of your hand to do so.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.

“For the mountains shall depart And the hills be removed, But My kindness shall not depart from you, Nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,” Says the Lord, who has mercy on you.

So rend your heart, and not your garments; Return to the Lord your God, For He is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness; And He relents from doing harm.

He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

Who is a God like You, Pardoning iniquity And passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, Because He delights in mercy.

Thus says the Lord of hosts: ‘Execute true justice, Show mercy and compassion Everyone to his brother. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, The alien or the poor. Let none of you plan evil in his heart Against his brother.’

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.

In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Let your gentleness be known to all men. The Lord is at hand.

Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering.

But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you.

But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love.
