¹⁰ All the ways of the Lord are loving and faithful^(A)
    toward those who keep the demands of his covenant.^(B)

“The days are coming, declares the Lord,
    when I will make a new covenant^(A)
with the people of Israel
    and with the people of Judah.
⁹ It will not be like the covenant
    I made with their ancestors^(B)
when I took them by the hand
    to lead them out of Egypt,
because they did not remain faithful to my covenant,
    and I turned away from them,
declares the Lord.
¹⁰ This is the covenant^(C) I will establish with the people of Israel
    after that time, declares the Lord.
I will put my laws in their minds
    and write them on their hearts.^(D)
I will be their God,
    and they will be my people.^(E)
11 No longer will they teach their neighbor,
    or say to one another, ‘Know the Lord,’
because they will all know me,^(F)
    from the least of them to the greatest.
¹² For I will forgive their wickedness
    and will remember their sins no more.^(G)”^[b](H)

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)—
¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant^(B)
    and remember^(C) to obey his precepts.^(D)

¹¹ Do not withhold your mercy^(A) from me, Lord;
    may your love^(B) and faithfulness^(C) always protect^(D) me.
