Psalm 118:1 - 1. O give thanks to the Lord, for He is good, for His mercy endures forever.
AELW 11:410
" It is goodness when someone does good to the undeserving and unworthy. One does not impart benefits to those who are deserving, but it is done justly, and good is returned for good, and it is due to be returned to them. But to those who are worthy, it is not rendered to them as to the deserving, but as something justly owed to them as superiors and equals. God, however, imparted benefits through the incarnate Christ to the unworthy and undeserving, in fact, to those who deserved much ill, for also through this He showed Himself to be not an imaginary God, but a true and living God, in that He received nothing good and meritorious from us, but granted it altogether without charge."
