8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 He will not always strive with us, nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us according to our iniquities.
11 For as the heavens are high 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 transgressions from us.
