or be angry for ever.^(B)

or repaid us according to our iniquities.^(C)

¹¹For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his faithful love
towards those who fear him.^(D)
¹²As far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed
our transgressions from us.^(E)

remembering that we are dust.^(G)

and its place is no longer known.^[a]^(I)

the Lord’s faithful love is towards those who fear him,
and his righteousness towards the grandchildren^(J)

who remember to observe his precepts.^(K)
