Psalms

It is of the Lord’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.

For I am the Lord, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

But though he cause grief, yet will he have compassion according to the multitude of his mercies.

For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

And he prayed unto the Lord, and said, I pray thee, O Lord, was not this my saying, when I was yet in my country? Therefore I fled before unto Tarshish: for I knew that thou art a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repentest thee of the evil.
