8 The LORD is full of compassion and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.
9 He will not always contend; neither will He keep His anger for ever.
10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins, nor requited us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us.
17 O my strength, unto Thee will I sing praises; for God is my high tower, the God of my mercy.
