7 He taught his laws to Moses. He let Israel see the powerful things he can do.
8 The Lord is kind and merciful. He is patient and full of love.
9 He does not always criticize. He does not stay angry with us forever.
10 We sinned against him, but he didn’t give us the punishment we deserved.
11 His love for his followers is as high above us as heaven is above the earth.
12 And he has taken our sins as far away from us as the east is from the west.
13 The Lord is as kind to his followers as a father is to his children.
