Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said,

O god

Remember, O Lord, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses,

For they have been

from of old.

But You, O God, the Lord, deal kindly with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your lovingkindness is good, deliver me;

Deal with Your servant according to Your lovingkindness
And teach me Your statutes.

Then the Lord passed by in front of him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;

‘The Lord is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but He will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.’

To the Lord our God belong compassion and forgiveness, for we have rebelled against Him;

Who is a God like You, who pardons iniquity
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.

The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

to the praise of the glory of His grace, which He freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

Multitude

But as for me, by Your abundant lovingkindness I will enter Your house,

At Your holy temple I will bow in reverence for You.

But as for me, my prayer is to You, O Lord, at an acceptable time;
O God, in the greatness of Your lovingkindness,
Answer me with Your saving truth.

Our fathers in Egypt did not understand Your wonders;
They did not remember Your abundant kindnesses,
But rebelled by the sea, at the Red Sea.

I shall make mention of the lovingkindnesses of the Lord, the praises of the Lord,
According to all that the Lord has granted us,
And the great goodness toward the house of Israel,
Which He has granted them according to His compassion
And according to the abundance of His lovingkindnesses.

Tender

You, O Lord, will not withhold Your compassion from me;

Your lovingkindness and Your truth will continually preserve me.

Has God forgotten to be gracious,
Or has He in anger withdrawn His compassion? Selah.

The Lord is good to all,
And His mercies are over all His works.
