slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love. - He has removed our sins as far from us

tender and compassionate to those who fear him. - But the love of the Lord remains forever
with those who fear him.

of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments! - I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
