³ Because your love is better than life,^(A)
    my lips will glorify you.

“I have loved^(A) you with an everlasting love;
    I have drawn^(B) you with unfailing kindness.

¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children^(A)—

⁸ In a surge of anger^(A)
    I hid^(B) my face from you for a moment,
but with everlasting kindness^(C)
    I will have compassion^(D) on you,”
    says the Lord your Redeemer.^(E)
