Psalms 103:8-12

8The Lord is 1compassionate and gracious, 2Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.9He 3will not always strive with us, Nor will He 4keep His anger forever.10He has 5not dealt with us according to our sins, Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.11For as high 6as the heavens are above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who 7fear Him.12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He 8removed our transgressions from us.
