But You are God,
Ready to pardon,
(C)Gracious and merciful,
Slow to anger,
Abundant in kindness,
And did not forsake them.

8 (A)The Lord is merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger, and abounding in mercy.
9 (B)He will not always strive with us,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 (G)For the wind passes over it, and it is [b]gone,
And (H)its place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 (I)To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
