8 He is the Lord gracious and merciful; slow to anger and abundant in kindness;
9 he will not be angry to utter ruin, nor continue his wrath forever.
10 He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor retributed to us according to our iniquities.
11 For high as the heaven is from the earth; the Lord hath enlarged his mercy for them who fear him.
12 Far as the east is distant from the west, he hath removed from us our transgressions.
13 As a father pitieth his children; the Lord hath pitied them who fear him,
14 because he knew our formation. O remember that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass; like a flower of the field, so he may bloom.
16 Because a blast of wind passed over it, it is gone. It shall no more know its place.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from age to age over them who fear him: and his saving goodness over children's children,
18 for them who keep his covenant, and remember his commands to do them.
