⁹ Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

¹⁴ But Zion said, The Lord has given me up, I have gone from his memory.

¹⁵ Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.

⁶ O Lord, keep in mind your pity and your mercies; for they have been from the earliest times.

¹¹ Take not away your gentle mercies from me, O Lord; let your mercy and your faith keep me safe for ever.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. When Nathan the prophet came to him, after he had gone in to Bath-sheba.> Have pity on me, O God, in your mercy; out of a full heart, take away my sin.

²⁷ Why do you say, O Jacob, such words as these, O Israel, The Lord's eyes are not on my way, and my God gives no attention to my cause?

¹⁵ Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:

²⁵ When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

²⁶ Then you will say, We have taken food and drink with you, and you were teaching in our streets.

²⁷ But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

²⁸ There will be weeping and cries of sorrow when you see Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves are shut outside.

³² For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

¹⁷ But if a man has this world's goods, and sees that his brother is in need, and keeps his heart shut against his brother, how is it possible for the love of God to be in him?
