Blessed be God, the father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which through his abundant mercy begat us again unto a lively hope, by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from death,

'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.'

For thou, LORD, art good and gracious, and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee.

But thou, O LORD God, art full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, plenteous in goodness and truth.

{To the chanter, a Psalm of David, when the Prophet Nathan came unto him, after he was gone in to Bathsheba} Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness; according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences.

Hear me, O LORD, for thy loving-kindness is comfortable: turn thee unto me according to the multitude of thy mercies.

The LORD is full of compassion and mercy; longsuffering, and of great goodness.

Mercy unto you, and peace and love be multiplied.
