Psalms 103:8-13 ▼

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.

9 He will not always contend with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our wrongdoings from us.

13 Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.
