Lord, You alone are God–awesome in might!
We trust in Your saving power.
We believe in You
and delight in all of Your promises.
O Lord, give us steadfast hearts.
Display Your kind compassion–
comfort, forgive, and restore Your people.
Their heart was not steadfast toward him;
they were not faithful to his covenant.
Yet he, being compassionate, atoned for their iniquity
and did not destroy them; he restrained his anger often
and did not stir up all his wrath. He remembered that they
were but flesh, a wind that passes and comes not again.
Psalm 78:37-39 ESV
