And You did not forsake them.

But You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.

Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.

But a shout of joy comes in the morning.

And close your doors behind you;
Hide for a little while
Until indignation runs its course.

And passes over the rebellious act of the remnant of His possession?
He does not retain His anger forever,
Because He delights in unchanging love.

Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way,
For His wrath may soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
