⁶ The Lord works vindication
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ways to Moses,
    his acts to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.^(D)
9 He will not always accuse,
    nor will he keep his anger forever.^(E)
10 He does not deal with us according to our sins
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.^(F)
11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;^(G)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far he removes our transgressions from us.^(H)
13 As a father has compassion for his children,
    so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.^(I)
14 For he knows how we were made;
    he remembers that we are dust.^(J)

⁶ who, though he existed in the form of God,
    did not regard equality with God
    as something to be grasped,^(F)
7 but emptied himself,
    taking the form of a slave,
    assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,^(G)
8     he humbled himself
    and became obedient to the point of death—
    even death on a cross.^(H)

⁹ Therefore God exalted him even more highly
    and gave him the name
    that is above every other name,^(I)
10 so that at the name given to Jesus
    every knee should bend,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,^(J)
11 and every tongue should confess
    that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.^(K)
