I said, I will confess against myself mine iniquity with the Lord, and Thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.

Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me; my joy. Deliver me from them that surround me.

BLESS the Lord, O my soul, and let all that is within me bless His holy name. Bless the Lord, O my soul, and never forget all He hath done for thee.

Who forgiveth all thy iniquities; Who healeth all thy diseases.

Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; Who crowneth thee with mercy and compassion.

The Lord is compassionate and merciful; long-suffering and plenteous in mercy.

He will not always be angry; nor will He threaten forever.

He hath not dealt with us according to our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our iniquities from us.

As a father hath compassion on his children, so hath the Lord compassion on them that fear Him.
