"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.... For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward them that fear Him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath He removed our transgression from us.... The mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear Him" (Psalm 103:2,11,17). "They that observe lying vanities forsake their own mercy... Salvation is of the Lord" (Jonah 2:8,9).
As high as the heaven is over the earth,
As far as the distance that east is from west,
As long as the ages without end or birth,
So great is God's mercy, His peace, and His rest.
What great deprivation they have who observe
Lies that destroy them by turning their eyes!
Turning aside from salvation, they swerve,
Missing their mercy for vanity's lies.
