² For you have said, Mercy will be made strong for ever; my faith will be unchanging in the heavens.

⁵ Your mercy, O Lord, is in the heavens, and your strong purpose is as high as the clouds.

¹⁷ But the mercy of the Lord is eternal for his worshippers, and their children's children will see his righteousness;

¹⁸ So that we, who have gone in flight from danger to the hope which has been put before us, may have a strong comfort in two unchanging things, in which it is not possible for God to be false;

⁶ To the praise of the glory of his grace, which he freely gave to us in the Loved One:

⁷ In whom we have salvation through his blood, the forgiveness of our sins, through the wealth of his grace,

⁵⁰ His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.

³⁵ Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

⁶ Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things in them; who keeps faith for ever:

⁸⁹ <LAMED> For ever, O Lord, your word is fixed in heaven.

³⁷ It will be fixed for ever like the moon; and the witness in heaven is true. (Selah.)

⁵ In heaven let them give praise for your wonders, O Lord; and your unchanging faith among the saints.

¹ <To the chief music-maker. Maschil. Of the sons of Korah.> Like the desire of the roe for the water-streams, so is my soul's desire for you, O God.

³¹ Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.

¹⁷ And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.

⁵ And said, O Lord, the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be feared, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws:

¹⁹ God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?
