²⁴ But thou hast mercy upon all, because thou canst do all things, and overlookest the sins of men for the sake of repentance.

²⁵ For thou lovest all things that are, and hatest none of the things which thou hast made: for thou didst not appoint, or make any thing hating it.

²⁷ But thou sparest all: because they are thine, O Lord, who lovest souls.

² Have mercy on me, O God, have mercy on me: for my soul trusteth in thee. And in the shadow of thy wings will I hope, until iniquity pass away.
