I will remember the kind things the Lord has done, and I will remember to praise him. The Lord has given many good things to the family of Israel. He has been very kind to us. He has shown us mercy.
Evil people should stop living evil lives. They should stop thinking bad thoughts. They should come to the Lord again, and he will comfort them. They should come to our God because he will freely forgive them.
David said to Gad, “This is a terrible situation to be in. But it would be better to be punished by the Lord than by anyone else, because he is very merciful.”
