Psalm 103:6-14
New American Standard Bible
6 The Lord (A)performs [a]righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are (B)oppressed.
7 He (C)made known His ways to Moses,
His (D)deeds to the sons of Israel.
8 The Lord is (E)compassionate and gracious,
(F)Slow to anger and abounding in mercy.
9 He (G)will not always contend with us,
Nor will He (H)keep His anger forever.
10 He has (I)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our guilty deeds.
11 For as high (J)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who [b]fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He (K)removed our wrongdoings from us.
13 Just (L)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who [c]fear Him.
14 For (M)He Himself knows [d]our form;
He (N)is mindful that we are nothing but (O)dust.

9 (A)For the sake of My name I (B)delay My wrath,
And for My praise I restrain it for you,
In order not to cut you off.
10 Behold, I have refined you, but (C)not as silver;
I have tested you in the (D)furnace of affliction.
11 (E)For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And I will not give My (F)glory to another.

2 Peter 3:7-12
New American Standard Bible
7 But by His word (A)the present heavens and earth are being reserved for (B)fire, kept for (C)the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly people.
8 But do not let this one fact escape your notice, (D)beloved, that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years, and (E)a thousand years like one day. 9 (F)The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but (G)is patient toward you, (H)not willing for any to perish, but for all to come to repentance.
A New Heaven and Earth
10 But (I)the day of the Lord (J)will come like a thief, in which (K)the heavens (L)will pass away with a roar and the (M)elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and (N)the earth and [a]its works will be [b]discovered.
11 Since all these things are to be destroyed in this way, what sort of people ought you to be in holy conduct and godliness, 12 (O)looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which (P)the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the (Q)elements will melt with intense heat!
