8 Jehovah is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in loving-kindness.9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep {his anger} for ever.10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him.12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
