I use the Greek because we should concern ourselves with the languages used by the apostles and evangelists when they wrote the Scriptures.
I will claim a mea culpa on the mercy / miserere. That's what I get when I use my (decrepit) memory rather than looking it up.

And of course the Greek is the source language. I acknowledge this.

It’s just that the English does hint there is a connection between mercy and payment. It doesn’t rise to the level of a source scripture hint. But it can still help open up insights.
