The LORD ​— ​the LORD is a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger and abounding in faithful love and truth,

and did not remember your wonders

you performed among them.

to return to their slavery in Egypt.[fn]

But you are a forgiving God,

gracious and compassionate,

slow to anger and abounding in faithful love,

and you did not abandon them.

However, in your abundant compassion,

you did not destroy them or abandon them,

for you are a gracious and compassionate God.

A kind man benefits himself,

but a cruel person brings ruin on himself.

but who can find a trustworthy person?

not just your clothes,

and return to the LORD your God.

slow to anger, abounding in faithful love,
