Psalms 103:6-12

Psalms 103

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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