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)

¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love^(A) for those who fear him;^(B)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions^(C) from us.
