Gracious

For You, Lord, are kind and ready to forgive,
rich in faithful love to all who call on You.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger and rich in faithful love.

Then the Lord passed in front of him and proclaimed:

Yahweh—Yahweh is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and rich in faithful love and truth,

I will make known the Lord’s faithful love
and the Lord’s praiseworthy acts,
because of all the Lord has done for us—
even the many good things
He has done for the house of Israel
and has done for them based on His compassion
and the abundance of His faithful love.

Who is a God like You,
removing iniquity and passing over rebellion
for the remnant of His inheritance?
He does not hold on to His anger forever,
because He delights in faithful love.

The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more

to the praise of His glorious grace that He favored us with in the Beloved.

And the grace of our Lord overflowed, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus.

He atoned for their guilt
and did not destroy them.
He often turned His anger aside
and did not unleash all His wrath.

He is gracious, compassionate, and righteous.

The Lord is gracious and compassionate,
slow to anger and great in faithful love.

yes, I will remember Your ancient wonders.
