Verse 3

The LORD our God is rich in grace, tender to us, compassionate. His anger is most slow to rise, His love and kindness are most great. The LORD is good in all His ways; His creatures know His constant care. To all His works His love extends; all creatures in His mercies share.

The LORD is just in all His ways; in all His works He is most kind, and all who call on Him in truth in Him a present helper find. He will fulfill the heart's desire of those who fear Him and obey. The LORD will surely hear their cry, will save them when to Him they pray.

Verse 7

The LORD in grace preserves His saints, redeeming those who love His name. The wicked He will overthrow and put His enemies to shame. My mouth will sing the glorious praise of God, whom earth and heav'n adore. Let every creature praise His name forever and forevermore!
