Psalm 116:5

Psalms of David in Metre 1650 (Scottish Psalter)

God merciful and righteous is, yea, gracious is our Lord.

See the chapter Copy

The Lord is just in all his ways, holy in his works all.

The Lord our God is merciful, and he is gracious, Long-suffering, and slow to wrath, in mercy plenteous.

O Lord, thou art most righteous; thy judgments are upright.

But thou art full of pity, Lord, a God most gracious, Long-suffering, and in thy truth and mercy plenteous.

Not unto us, Lord, not to us, but do thou glory take Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth, and for thy mercy's sake.

Unto the upright light doth rise, though he in darkness be: Compassionate, and merciful, and righteous, is he.

For thou art gracious, O Lord, and ready to forgive; And rich in mercy, all that call upon thee to relieve.
