Psalm 103:8-13 The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep His anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins ; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the Heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him

The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy. He will not always chide: neither will he keep His anger for ever. He hath not dealt with us after our sins ; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the Heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgressions from us. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him. — Psalm 103:8-13

O ALMIGHTY GOD and gracious Father, we beseech Thee, hear our prayer today. Bless us with all health and happiness. Give us sane minds, light hearts, unsullied vision of our duties and responsibilities, and, above all, a right judgment in all things. Guard our inexperience; keep us from all self-conceit; make us become as little children, that we may be wise; to become gentle, that we may be strong; to become humble, that we may become divine. Prepare us to fulfil our course in life with honor; and grant that we may so live in this world that, in the world to come, we may have life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
