 I said,  I  will  confess  against  myself  mine  iniquity with  the  Lord,  and  Thou  hast  forgiven the wickedness  of  my  sin.

Thou art  my  refuge  from  the  trouble  which hath encompassed  me;  my  joy. Deliver me from  them  that  surround  me.

LESS the  Lord,  O  my  soul,  and  let  all  that is within  me  bless  His  holy  name. Bless the Lord,  O  my  soul,  and  never  forget  all  He hath  done  for  thee.

Who forgiveth  all  thy  iniquities;  Who healeth all  thy  diseases.

Who redeemeth  thy  life  from  destruction; Who crowneth  thee  with  mercy  and  compassion.

The Lord  is  compassionate  and  merciful; long-suffering and  plenteous  in  mercy.

He will  not  always  be  angry;  nor  will  He threaten  forever.

He hath  not  dealt  with  us  according  to  our sins; nor  rewarded  us  according  to  our  iniquities.

As far  as  the  east  is  from  the  west,  so far  hath  He  removed  our  iniquities  from us.

As a  father  hath  compassion  on  his  children, so  hath  the  Lord  compassion  on  them that fear  Him.
