SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:25

Con el misericordioso serás misericordioso, y con el varón perfecto serás perfecto.

Clarke's Bible Commentary - Psalms 17:25

Verse 25. With the merciful thou wilt show thyself merciful ] Thou wilt deal with men as they deal with each other. This is the general tenor of God's providential conduct towards mankind; well expressed by Mr. Pope in his universal prayer: - "Teach me to feel another's wo; To hide the fault I see: The mercy I to others show, That mercy show to me." It is in reference to this that our Lord teaches us to pray: "Forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us." If we act feelingly and mercifully towards our fellow creatures, God will act tenderly and compassionately towards us. The merciful, the upright, and the pure, will ever have the God of mercy, uprightness, and purity, to defend and support them.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 20-28 - Those that forsake the ways of the Lord, depart from their God. But though conscious to ourselves of many a false step, let there not be wicked departure from our God. David kept his eye upon the rule of God's commands. Constant care to keep from that sin, whatever it be which most easily besets us, proves that we are upright before God Those who show mercy to others, even they need mercy. Those who ar faithful to God, shall find him all that to them which he has promise to be. The words of the Lord are pure words, very sure to be depende on, and very sweet to be delighted in. Those who resist God, and wal contrary to him, shall find that he will walk contrary to them, L 26:21-24. The gracious recompence of which David spoke, may generall be expected by those who act from right motives. Hence he speak comfort to the humble, and terror to the proud; "Thou wilt bring dow high looks." And he speaks encouragement to himself; "Thou wilt ligh my candle:" thou wilt revive and comfort my sorrowful spirit; thou wil guide my way, that I may avoid the snares laid for me. Thou wilt ligh my candle to work by, and give me an opportunity of serving thee. Le those that walk in darkness, and labour under discouragements, tak courage; God himself will be a Light to them.
