8 God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie. 9 He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he his anger for euer. 10 He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse. 11 For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym. 12 Loke howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs. 13 Yea lyke as a father pitieth his owne children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym.
