Psalm 103:8-12 (NIV)
The Lord is compassionate and
gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger
forever;
he does not treat us as our sins
deserve
or repay us according to our
iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the
earth,
so great is his love for those who
fear him;
as far as the east is from the
west,
so far has he removed our
transgressions from us."
