Psalms 103:8-18

Bishops^{(i) 8} God is full of compassion and pitie: loth to be angry, and exceedyng great in mercie ⁹ He vseth not to continue in chydyng: neither reserueth he [his anger] for euer ¹⁰ He dealeth not with vs accordyng to our sinnes: nor rewardeth vs according to our wickednesse ¹¹ For accordyng to the hyghnesse of heauen aboue the earth: his mercie preuayleth to them that feare hym ¹² [Loke] howe farre distaunt the east is from the west: so farre a sunder setteth he our sinnes from vs ¹³ Yea lyke as a father pitieth [his owne] children: euen so is God mercifull vnto them that feare hym ¹⁴ For he knoweth wherof we be made: he remembreth that we are but dust ¹⁵ The dayes of man are as [the dayes] of an hearbe: he florisheth as a flowre in the fielde ¹⁶ For the winde passeth ouer it, and it is no more [seene]: and the place therof knoweth it no more ¹⁷ But the mercifull goodnesse of God endureth for euer and euer, vpon them that feare hym: and his righteousnesse vpon childers children ¹⁸ Euen vpon such as kepe his couenaunt: and thinke vpon his commaundementes to do them
