One of the key Bible verses that highlights God’s pleasure when we hope in His mercy is Psalm 147:11 (KJV):

“The Lord taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.”

This verse reflects the idea that God delights in those who trust in His mercy and revere Him. It emphasizes that our hope in His compassion and grace brings Him joy.

Other related verses that touch on God’s mercy include:

1. Lamentations 3:22-23 (KJV):
“It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”

2. Ephesians 2:4-5 (KJV):
“But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved).”

These passages speak to the continual availability of God’s mercy and how it is central to His relationship with us.
