They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.

For his anger is but for a moment. His favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may stay for the night, but joy comes in the morning.

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

How long, Yahweh? Will you hide yourself forever? Will your wrath burn like fire?

and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.

Come, my people, enter into your rooms, and shut your doors behind you. Hide yourself for a little moment, until the indignation is past.

For I will not contend forever, neither will I always be angry; for the spirit would faint before me, and the souls whom I have made.

Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn’t retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.

Yahweh will not pardon him, but then Yahweh’s anger and his jealousy will smoke against that man, and all the curse that is written in this book will fall on him, and Yahweh will blot out his name from under the sky.

You will show me the path of life. In your presence is fullness of joy. In your right hand there are pleasures forever more.

No enemy will tax him. No wicked man will oppress him.

“Therefore wait for me”, says Yahweh, “until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

Because your loving kindness is better than life, my lips shall praise you.

Yahweh God of Armies, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?

For you, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, abundant in loving kindness to all those who call on you.
