Psalm
R. The Lord is merciful and gracious; slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and all that is within me, bless his holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and do not forget all his benefits. R.
It is the Lord who forgives all your iniquity, who heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the Pit, who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy. R.
He will not always accuse, nor will he keep his anger forever. He does not deal with us according to our · sins, nor repay us according to our · in-iquities. R.
For as the heavens are high above the · earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far he removes our transgressions from us. R.
