Psalms 103:10
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion.
9 He will not always accuse us, nor harbor His anger forever.
He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.
12 As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
