9. He will not strive l'netzach; neither will He keep His anger l'olam.
10. He hath not dealt with us according to chata'einu (our sins); nor repaid us according to avonoteinu (our iniquities).
11. For as Shomayim is high above ha'aretz, so great is His chesed toward them that fear Him.
12. As far as the mizrach (east) is from the ma'arav (west), so far hath He removed peysha'einu (our transgressions) from us.
13. As an av has compassion on banim so Hashem has compassion on them that fear Him.
