| Bless the Lord, O my soul: and all that is within me, bless his holy name. | Praise the Lord, my soul; all my inmost being, praise his holy name. |
| The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. | The Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. |

| As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. | As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. |
| Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him. | As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him. |
| But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children; To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them. | But from everlasting to everlasting the Lord’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children— with those who keep his covenant and remember to obey his precepts. |
