'The LORD is long yer he be angry, and full of mercy, and suffereth sin and trespass, and leaveth no man innocent, and visiteth the unrighteousness of the fathers upon the children, even upon the third and fourth generation.'

Gracious and righteous is the LORD; therefore will he teach sinners in the way.

Thy mercy, O LORD, reacheth unto the heavens, and thy faithfulness unto the clouds.
