Psalms 103:6-12

Psalms 103

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

6 The LORD executes righteousness and justice for all the oppressed.

7 He made known His ways to Moses, His deeds to the people of Israel.

8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.

9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.

10 He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
