⁸The Lord is loving and merciful,

slow to become angry and full of constant love.

and has compassion on all he made.

¹⁰All your creatures, Lord, will praise you,

and all your people will give you thanks.

and tell of your might,

¹²so that everyone will know your mighty deeds

and the glorious majesty of your kingdom.

and you are king for ever.

The Lord is faithful to his promises,

and he is merciful in all his acts.
