⁸ The Lord is compassionate and gracious,^(A)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
⁹ He will not always accuse,
    nor will he harbor his anger forever;^(B)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve^(C)
    or repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love^(D) for those who fear him;^(E)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions^(F) from us.

¹³ As a father has compassion^(G) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

²² Praise the Lord, all his works^(A)
    everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.^(B)
