8 The Lord is (A)merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.

he flourishes like (M)a flower of the field;
16 for (N)the wind passes over it, and (O)it is gone,
and (P)its place knows it no more.
17 But (Q)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on (R)those who fear him,
and his righteousness to (S)children's children,
