Psalms 103:8-13

8YhwhH3068 is mercifulH7349 and graciousH2587, slowH750 to angerH639, and plenteousH7227 in mercyH2617.1

9He will not alwaysH5331 chideH7378: neither will he keepH5201 his anger for everH5769.

10He hath not dealtH6213 with us after our sinsH2399; nor rewardedH1580 us according to our iniquitiesH5771.

11For as the heavenH8064 is high aboveH1361 the earthH776, so greatH1396 is his mercyH2617 toward them that fearH3373 him.2

12As far asH7368 the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, so far hath he removedH7368 our transgressionsH6588 from us.

13Like as a fatherH1 pitiethH7355 his childrenH1121, so YhwhH3068 pitiethH7355 them that fearH3373 him.
