TSK · James 5:11

The LORD passed by before him and proclaimed:“The LORD, the LORD, the compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, and abounding in loyal love and faithfulness,

David said to Gad,“I am very upset! I prefer to be attacked by the LORD, for his mercy is very great; I do not want to be attacked by men!”

They refused to obey and did not recall your miracles that you had performed among them. Instead, they rebelled and appointed a leader to return to their bondage in Egypt. But you are a God of forgiveness, merciful and compassionate, slow to get angry and unfailing in your loyal love. You did not abandon them,

Seven sons and three daughters were born to him.

But he replied,“You’re talking like one of the godless women would do! Should we receive what is good from God, and not also receive what is evil?” In all this Job did not sin by what he said.

But he knows the pathway that I take; if he tested me, I would come forth like gold.

Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O LORD, for you have always acted in this manner.

For the music director; a psalm of David, written when Nathan the prophet confronted him after David’s affair with Bathsheba. Have mercy on me, O God, because of your loyal love! Because of your great compassion, wipe away my rebellious acts!

Certainly O Lord, you are kind and forgiving, and show great faithfulness to all who cry out to you.

How blessed is the one whom you instruct, O LORD, the one whom you teach from your law,

As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.

Turn toward me and extend mercy to me, as you typically do to your loyal followers.

The LORD is merciful and compassionate; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.

Seek the LORD while he makes himself available; call to him while he is nearby!

Through all that they suffered, he suffered too. The messenger sent from his very presence delivered them. In his love and mercy he protected them; he lifted them up and carried them throughout ancient times.

Yet the Lord our God is compassionate and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him.

Tear your hearts, not just your garments!” Return to the LORD your God, for he is merciful and compassionate, slow to anger and boundless in loyal love– often relenting from calamitous punishment.

Who is a God like you? Who forgives sin and pardons the rebellion of those who remain among his people? Who does not stay angry forever, but delights in showing loyal love?

And you will be hated by everyone because of my name. But the one who endures to the end will be saved!

Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

Or do you have contempt for the wealth of his kindness, forbearance, and patience, and yet do not know that God’s kindness leads you to repentance?

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.

Happy is the one who endures testing, because when he has proven to be genuine, he will receive the crown of life that God promised to those who love him.

Therefore, get your minds ready for action by being fully sober, and set your hope completely on the grace that will be brought to you when Jesus Christ is revealed.
