The Lord's Justice and Abundant Mercy

6

Jehovah executeth righteous acts, And judgments for all that are oppressed.

7

He made known his ways unto Moses, His doings unto the children of Israel.

8

Jehovah is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness.

9

He will not always chide; Neither will he keephis angerfor ever.

10

He hath not dealt with us after our sins, Nor rewarded us after our iniquities.

11

For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

12

As far as the east is from the west, So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

14

For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

15

As for man, his days are as grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more.

17

But the lovingkindness of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, And his righteousness unto children’s children;

18

To such as keep his covenant, And to those that remember his precepts to do them.
