7 God made his ways known to Moses;made his deeds known to the Israelites.
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,very patient, and full of faithful love.
9 God won’t always play the judge;he won’t be angry forever.
10 He doesn’t deal with us according to our sinor repay us according to our wrongdoing,
11 because as high as heaven is above the earth,that’s how large God’s faithful love is for those who honor him.
12 As far as east is from west—that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
13 Like a parent feels compassion for their children—that’s how the Lord feels compassion for those who honor him.
