How does God's mercy relate to His goodness?

Answered in 1 source

God's mercy is intrinsically linked to His goodness, as both reveal His character and compassion towards sinners.

Psalm 136 begins with the declaration that God is good, and this goodness is demonstrated through His mercy. When we say God is good, we affirm that He does not give sinners what they deserve; instead, in His goodness, He acts with compassion and grace. The mercy of God reflects His goodness by being a form of divine favor towards undeserving people, showcasing His loving-kindness. This interconnectedness emphasizes that God’s actions are always rooted in His nature, guiding His dealings with humanity and ensuring His mercy flows out of His unchanging goodness.
