Psalm 103:8

Text for Harry Clark's sermon -- "Merciful and Gracious"

The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love (NRSV translation)

The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love (NIV)

This powerful refrain and prayer invocation to God is repeated in various contexts of the Old Testament

Exodus 34:6 ///   Numbers 14:18 /// Psalm 145:8 ///   Jeremiah 32:18 /// Jonah 4:2 ///  Nehemiah 9:17, 31
