8 The LORD [is] merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

9 He will not always chide, neither will he keep [his anger] for ever.

10 He has not dealt with us after our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth [so] does he increase his mercy over those that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, [so] far has he removed our rebellions from us.
