8 The Lord is full of compassion and mercie, slowe to anger and of great kindnesse.
9 He will not alway chide, neither keepe his anger for euer.
10 He hath not dealt with vs after our sinnes, nor rewarded vs according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heauen is aboue ye earth, so great is his mercie toward them that feare him.
12 As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath he remooued our sinnes from vs.
13 As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that feare him.
14 For he knoweth whereof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust.
15 The dayes of man are as grasse: as a flowre of the fielde, so florisheth he.
16 For the winde goeth ouer it, and it is gone, and the place thereof shall knowe it no more.
17 But the louing kindnesse of the Lord endureth for euer and euer vpon them that feare him, and his righteousnes vpon childrens children,
18 Vnto them that keepe his couenant, and thinke vpon his commandements to doe them.
