耶和華有憐憫和恩典,
不輕易發怒,充滿慈愛。
祂不永久責備人,
也不永遠懷怒。
10 祂沒有按我們的過犯對待我們,
也沒有照我們的罪惡懲罰我們。
11 因為天離地有多高,
祂對敬畏祂之人的愛也多大!
12 東離西有多遠,
祂叫我們的過犯離我們也多遠!
13 耶和華憐愛敬畏祂的人,
如同慈父憐愛自己的兒女。
14 因為祂知道我們的本源,
顧念我們不過是塵土。

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(A)
    slow to anger, abounding in love.
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;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(H)
    he remembers that we are dust.(I)

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
