From Psalm 23:
"Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow me all the days of my life
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."
The terms "goodness" and "mercy" are almost interchangeable.
They refer to God's disposition to act kindly toward people who realize
they are undeserving. Goodness or mercy is God's prevailing tendency,
his inclination, to do good for us even though we deserve only his anger.
