And he said, “I will make all my goodness pass before you and will proclaim before you my name ‘The Lord.’ And I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will show mercy.

On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king and went to their homes joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the Lord had shown to David his servant and to Israel his people.

“And now arise, O Lord God, and go to your resting place, you and the ark of your might. Let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in your goodness.

And they captured fortified cities and a rich land, and took possession of houses full of all good things, cisterns already hewn, vineyards, olive orchards and fruit trees in abundance. So they ate and were filled and became fat and delighted themselves in your great goodness.

Even in their own kingdom, and amid your great goodness that you gave them, and in the large and rich land that you set before them, they did not serve you or turn from their wicked works.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord!

I believe that I shall look upon the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living!

Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you and worked for those who take refuge in you, in the sight of the children of mankind!

Blessed is the one you choose and bring near, to dwell in your courts! We shall be satisfied with the goodness of your house, the holiness of your temple!

your flock found a dwelling in it; in your goodness, O God, you provided for the needy.

They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant goodness and shall sing aloud of your righteousness.

The Lord's Mercy Remembered

I will recount the steadfast love of the Lord, the praises of the Lord, according to all that the Lord has granted us, and the great goodness to the house of Israel that he has granted them according to his compassion, according to the abundance of his steadfast love.

They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they shall be radiant over the goodness of the Lord, over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the flock and the herd; their life shall be like a watered garden, and they shall languish no more.

I will feast the soul of the priests with abundance, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, declares the Lord.”

Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the Lord their God, and David their king, and they shall come in fear to the Lord and to his goodness in the latter days.

For how great is his goodness, and how great his beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the young women.

Paul the Minister to the Gentiles

I myself am satisfied about you, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, filled with all knowledge and able to instruct one another.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,

But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared,

but I preferred to do nothing without your consent in order that your goodness might not be by compulsion but of your own accord.

and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come,
