8 Gracious and merciful is God, [Great is] his mercy high and deep:
9 He's slow to wrath; he chides not still, Nor doth his anger [ever] keep.
10 He hath not dealt with us in wrath, According to our [heinous] sin; Nor strictly us rewarded hath As our [guilt and] deserts have bin.
10 He hath not dealt with us in wrath, According to our [hainous] sin; Nor strictly us rewarded hath As our [guilt and] deserts have bin.
11 But as the great and glorious heavens Than [this low] earth far higher are; God's mercy so transcendent is To all that do him [truly] fear.
11 But as the great and glorious heav'ns Than [this low] earth far higher are; God's mercy so transcendent is To all that do him [truly] fear.
