Nehemiah 9:19

I, even I, am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake; and I will not remember your sins.

God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should repent. Has he said, and will he not do it? Or has he spoken, and will he not make it good?

Be free from the love of money, content with such things as you have, for he has said, “I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you.”

Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation, nor turning shadow.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.

Have mercy on me, God, according to your loving kindness. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, blot out my transgressions.

I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread.

But you, Lord, are a merciful and gracious God, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness and truth.

This is what Yahweh who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you says: “Don’t be afraid, Jacob my servant; and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”

Also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man, that he should repent.”

I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel.”

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power known.

Turn your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and behold. Hear all of the words of Sennacherib, who has sent to defy the living God.

“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you!

But the children of Israel walked on dry land in the middle of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand, and on their left.

So Yahweh turned away from the evil which he said he would do to his people.

Then the cloud covered the Tent of Meeting, and Yahweh’s glory filled the tabernacle.

When the cloud was taken up from over the tabernacle, the children of Israel went onward, throughout all their journeys;

who went before you on the way, to seek out a place for you to pitch your tents in: in fire by night, to show you by what way you should go, and in the cloud by day.

For Yahweh your God is a merciful God. He will not fail you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which he swore to them.

For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and will surround us, and cut off our name from the earth. What will you do for your great name?”

For if you remain silent now, then relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Who knows if you haven’t come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness...

Honor your covenant, for haunts of violence fill the dark places of the earth.

You led your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

For Yahweh won’t reject his people, neither will he forsake his inheritance.

He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, the statute that he gave them.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor repaid us for our iniquities.

He has remembered his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,

Yahweh is your keeper. Yahweh is your shade on your right hand.

For Yahweh says, “The whole land will be a desolation; yet I will not make a full end.

But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, among which they were, in whose sight I made myself known to them, in bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

His mercy is for generations of generations on those who fear him.

I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.

Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:

The peoples have heard. They tremble. Pangs have taken hold of the inhabitants of Philistia.

For how would people know that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people? Isn’t it that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your people, from all the people who are on the surface of the earth?”

These are the amounts of materials used for the tabernacle, even the Tabernacle of the Testimony, as they were counted, according to the commandment of Moses, for the service of the Levites, by the hand of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

Please pardon the iniquity of this people according to the greatness of your loving kindness, and just as you have forgiven this people, from Egypt even until now.”

When Yahweh raised up judges for them, then Yahweh was with the judge, and saved them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for it grieved Yahweh because of their groaning by reason of those who oppressed them and troubled them.

(Yahweh gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.

Incline your ear, Yahweh, and hear. Open your eyes, Yahweh, and see. Hear the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to defy the living God.

Moreover, in a pillar of cloud you led them by day; and in a pillar of fire by night, to give them light in the way in which they should go.

and refused to obey. They weren’t mindful of your wonders that you did among them, but hardened their neck, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But you are a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and didn’t forsake them.

Therefore you delivered them into the hand of their adversaries, who distressed them. In the time of their trouble, when they cried to you, you heard from heaven; and according to your manifold mercies you gave them saviors who saved them out of the hands of their adversaries.

He restores my soul. He guides me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

Answer me, Yahweh, for your loving kindness is good. According to the multitude of your tender mercies, turn to me.

Relent, Yahweh! How long? Have compassion on your servants!

But there is forgiveness with you, therefore you are feared.

Unless Yahweh of Armies had left to us a very small remnant, we would have been as Sodom. We would have been like Gomorrah.

“But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham my friend,

For I, Yahweh your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, ‘Don’t be afraid. I will help you.’

But now, Yahweh, you are our Father. We are the clay and you our potter. We all are the work of your hand.

Though our iniquities testify against us, work for your name’s sake, Yahweh; for our rebellions are many. We have sinned against you.

Do not abhor us, for your name’s sake. Do not disgrace the throne of your glory. Remember, and don’t break your covenant with us.

For, behold, I begin to work evil at the city which is called by my name; and should you be utterly unpunished? You will not be unpunished; for I will call for a sword on all the inhabitants of the earth, says Yahweh of Armies.” ’

It may be they will present their supplication before Yahweh, and will each return from his evil way; for Yahweh has pronounced great anger and wrath against this people.”

Lord, hear. Lord, forgive. Lord, listen and do. Don’t defer, for your own sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.”

to show mercy toward our fathers, to remember his holy covenant,

For being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, they didn’t subject themselves to the righteousness of God.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.

that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have a strong encouragement, who have fled for refuge to take hold of the hope set before us.

I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.

On the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, even the Tent of the Testimony. At evening it was over the tabernacle, as it were the appearance of fire, until morning.

Whenever the cloud was taken up from over the Tent, then after that the children of Israel traveled; and in the place where the cloud remained, there the children of Israel encamped.

He remembered for them his covenant, and repented according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

For though he causes grief, yet he will have compassion according to the multitude of his loving kindnesses.

For the cloud of Yahweh was on the tabernacle by day, and there was fire in the cloud by night, in the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all their journeys.

So it was continually. The cloud covered it, and the appearance of fire by night.

Sometimes the cloud was from evening until morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning, they traveled; or by day and by night, when the cloud was taken up, they traveled.

The cloud of Yahweh was over them by day, when they set forward from the camp.

They will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you Yahweh are among this people; for you Yahweh are seen face to face, and your cloud stands over them, and you go before them, in a pillar of cloud by day, and in a pillar of fire by night.

For Yahweh will not forsake his people for his great name’s sake, because it has pleased Yahweh to make you a people for himself.

“Nevertheless in your manifold mercies you didn’t make a full end of them, nor forsake them; for you are a gracious and merciful God.

Yahweh, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times.

For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.

In the daytime he also led them with a cloud, and all night with a light of fire.

He spread a cloud for a covering, fire to give light in the night.

to him who led his people through the wilderness; for his loving kindness endures forever:

Remember these things, Jacob and Israel; for you are my servant. I have formed you. You are my servant. Israel, you will not be forgotten by me.

It is because of Yahweh’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn’t fail.

But I worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

Nevertheless my eye spared them, and I didn’t destroy them. I didn’t make a full end of them in the wilderness.

Nevertheless I withdrew my hand, and worked for my name’s sake, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, in whose sight I brought them out.

To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgiveness; for we have rebelled against him.

My God, turn your ear, and hear. Open your eyes, and see our desolations, and the city which is called by your name; for we do not present our petitions before you for our righteousness, but for your great mercies’ sake.

“For I, Yahweh, don’t change; therefore you, sons of Jacob, are not consumed.

Now I would not have you ignorant, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
