I will not let you see my face, because no one can see me and stay alive,

When the dazzling light of my presence passes by, I will put you in an opening in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.

"Go out and stand before me on top of the mountain," the LORD said to him. Then the LORD passed by and sent a furious wind that split the hills and shattered the rocks---but the LORD was not in the wind. The wind stopped blowing, and then there was an earthquake---but the LORD was not in the earthquake.

So now, LORD, I pray, show us your power and do what you promised when you said,

And now, LORD, according to the greatness of your unchanging love, forgive, I pray, the sin of these people, just as you have forgiven them ever since they left Egypt."

A day is coming when people will sing, "Give thanks to the LORD! Call for him to help you! Tell all the nations what he has done! Tell them how great he is!

But Moses replied, "When I go to the Israelites and say to them, 'The God of your ancestors sent me to you,' they will ask me, 'What is his name?' So what can I tell them?"

Tell the Israelites that I, the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, have sent you to them. This is my name forever; this is what all future generations are to call me.

But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

If you return to the LORD, then those who have taken your relatives away as prisoners will take pity on them and let them come back home. The LORD your God is kind and merciful, and if you return to him, he will accept you."

They refused to obey; they forgot all you did; they forgot the miracles you had performed. In their pride they chose a leader to take them back to slavery in Egypt. But you are a God who forgives; you are gracious and loving, slow to be angry. Your mercy is great; you did not forsake them.

You are good to us and forgiving, full of constant love for all who pray to you.

But you, O Lord, are a merciful and loving God, always patient, always kind and faithful.

The LORD is merciful and loving, slow to become angry and full of constant love.

He does not punish us as we deserve or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.

As far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our sins from us.

The LORD does not let us forget his wonderful actions; he is kind and merciful.

Light shines in the darkness for good people, for those who are merciful, kind, and just.

The LORD is merciful and good; our God is compassionate.

The LORD is loving and merciful, slow to become angry and full of constant love.

Let your broken heart show your sorrow; tearing your clothes is not enough." Come back to the LORD your God. He is kind and full of mercy; he is patient and keeps his promise; he is always ready to forgive and not punish.

So he prayed, " LORD, didn't I say before I left home that this is just what you would do? That's why I did my best to run away to Spain! I knew that you are a loving and merciful God, always patient, always kind, and always ready to change your mind and not punish.

Or perhaps you despise his great kindness, tolerance, and patience. Surely you know that God is kind, because he is trying to lead you to repent.

How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you.

There is no other god like you, O LORD; you forgive the sins of your people who have survived. You do not stay angry forever, but you take pleasure in showing us your constant love.

Or perhaps you despise his great kindness, tolerance, and patience. Surely you know that God is kind, because he is trying to lead you to repent.

Law was introduced in order to increase wrongdoing; but where sin increased, God's grace increased much more.

So then, just as sin ruled by means of death, so also God's grace rules by means of righteousness, leading us to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

For by the blood of Christ we are set free, that is, our sins are forgiven. How great is the grace of God,

which he gave to us in such large measure! In all his wisdom and insight

Your constant love reaches the heavens; your faithfulness touches the skies.

He will cover you with his wings; you will be safe in his care; his faithfulness will protect and defend you.

Your constant love reaches above the heavens; your faithfulness touches the skies.

They last for all time; they were given in truth and righteousness.

I face your holy Temple, bow down, and praise your name because of your constant love and faithfulness, because you have shown that your name and your commands are supreme.

the Creator of heaven, earth, and sea, and all that is in them. He always keeps his promises;

Fresh as the morning, as sure as the sunrise.

You will show your faithfulness and constant love to your people, the descendants of Abraham and of Jacob, as you promised our ancestors long ago.

God gave the Law through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
