(A)For a brief moment I deserted you,
    but with great compassion I will gather you.
(B)In overflowing anger for a moment
    I hid my face from you,
(C)but with everlasting love I will have compassion on you,”
    says the Lord, your Redeemer.

“This is like (D)the days of Noah[a] to me:
    as I swore that the waters of Noah
    should no more go over the earth,
so I have sworn that I will not be angry with you,
    and will not rebuke you.
10 For the mountains may depart
    and the hills be removed,
but my steadfast love shall not depart from you,
    and (E)my covenant of peace shall not be removed,”
    says the Lord, who has compassion on you.

  1. Psalm 89:1 Probably a musical or liturgical term

“Behold, (A)I establish my covenant with you and your offspring after you, 10 and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the livestock, and every beast of the earth with you, as many as came out of the ark; it is for every beast of the earth. 11 (B)I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” 12 And God said, (C)“This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all future generations: 13 I have set (D)my bow in the cloud, and it shall be a sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 When I bring clouds over the earth and the bow is seen in the clouds, 15 (E)I will remember my covenant that is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh. And the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. 16 When the bow is in the clouds, I will see it and remember (F)the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.” 17 God said to Noah, “This is the sign of the covenant that I have established between me and all flesh that is on the earth.”
