8 The ford is compassionate and merciful: longsuffering and plenteous in mercy.9 He will not always be angry: nor will he threaten for ever.10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins: nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11 For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our iniquities from us.
