Mercy is the word for today & always.

Matthew 5:5-7 (KJV, from the Sermon on the Mount)

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
