78:38 Yet he is compassionate.
He forgives sin and does not destroy.
He often holds back his anger,
and does not stir up his fury.
103:8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful;
he is patient
103:9 He does not always accuse,
and does not stay angry.
103:10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve;
he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
103:11 For as the skies are high above the earth,
so his loyal love towers
103:12 As far as the eastern horizon
so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions
103:13 As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.
103:14 For he knows what we are made of;
he realizes
103:15 A person’s life is like grass.
Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
103:16 but when the hot wind
and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
103:17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers,
and is faithful to their descendants,
103:18 to those who keep his covenant,
who are careful to obey his commands.
145:8 The Lord is merciful and compassionate;
he is patient
145:9 The Lord is good to all,
and has compassion on all he has made.
55:7 The wicked need to abandon their lifestyle
and sinful people their plans.
They should return
and to their God, for he will freely forgive them.
55:8 “Indeed,
and my deeds
55:9 for just as the sky
so my deeds
and my plans
2:13 Return to the Lord your God,
for he is merciful and compassionate,
slow to anger and boundless in loyal love
