2 Chronicles 30:9

9 For when you return to Yahweh, your brothers and your sons will find compassion before those who led them captive and will return to this land. For Yahweh your God is gracious and compassionate, and will not turn His face away from you if you return to Him.”

Nehemiah 9:17

17
They refused to listen,
And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You did among them;
So they became stiff‑necked and gave themselves a chief to return to their slavery in Egypt.
But You are a God of lavish forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness;
And You did not forsake them.

Nehemiah 9:31

31
Nevertheless, in Your abundant compassion You did not make a complete destruction of them or forsake them,
For You are a gracious and compassionate God.

Psalm 86

To You, O Lord, I Lift Up My Soul

A Prayer of David.

Incline Your ear, O Yahweh, and answer me;
For I am afflicted and needy.
2
Keep my soul, for I am a holy one;
O You my God, save Your slave who trusts in You.
3
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
For to You I call all day long.
4
Make glad the soul of Your slave,
For to You, O Lord, I lift up my soul.
5
For You, Lord, are good, and by nature forgiving,
And abundant in lovingkindness to all who call upon You.
6
Give ear, O Yahweh, to my prayer;
And give heed to the voice of my supplications!
7
In the day of my distress I shall call upon You,
For You will answer me.
8
There is no one like You among the gods, O Lord,
Nor are there any works like Yours.
9
All nations whom You have made shall come and worship before You, O Lord,
And they shall glorify Your name.
10
For You are great and do wondrous deeds;
You alone are God.

11
Teach me Your way, O Yahweh;
I will walk in Your truth;
Unite my heart to fear Your name.
12
I will give thanks to You, O Lord my God, with all my heart,
And will glorify Your name forever.
13
For Your lovingkindness toward me is great,
And You have delivered my soul from Sheol below.

14
O God, arrogant men have risen up against me,
And a band of ruthless men have sought my life,
And they have not set You before them.
15
But You, O Lord, are a God compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness and truth.
16
Turn to me, and be gracious to me;
Oh grant Your strength to Your slave,
And save the son of Your maidservant.
17
Show me a sign for good,
That those who hate me may see it and be ashamed,
Because You, O Yahweh, have helped me and comforted me.

Psalm 103

Bless Yahweh, O My Soul

Of David.

Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And all that is within me, bless His holy name.
2
Bless Yahweh, O my soul,
And forget none of His benefits;
3
Who pardons all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases;
4
Who redeems your life from the pit,
Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion;
5
Who satisfies your years with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle.

6
Yahweh performs righteous deeds
And judgments for all who are oppressed.
7
He made known His ways to Moses,
His acts to the sons of Israel.
8
Yahweh is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
9
He will not always contend with us,
And He will not keep His anger forever.
10
He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
And He has not rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.
12
As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13
As a father has compassion on his children,
So Yahweh has compassion on those who fear Him.
14
For He Himself knows our form;
He remembers that we are but dust.

15
As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flowers.
16
When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.
17
But the lovingkindness of Yahweh is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18
To those who keep His covenant
And remember His precepts to do them.

19
Yahweh has established His throne in the heavens,
And His kingdom rules over all.
20
Bless Yahweh, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!
21
Bless Yahweh, all you His hosts,
You who serve Him, doing His will.
22
Bless Yahweh, all you works of His,
In all places of His rule;
Bless Yahweh, O my soul!

Joel 2:13

13
And tear your heart and not your garments.”
Now return to Yahweh your God,
For He is gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger, abounding in lovingkindness,
And relenting concerning evil.

Jonah 4:2

2 And he prayed to Yahweh and said, “Ah! O Yahweh, was not this my word to myself while I was still in my own land? Therefore I went ahead to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that You are a gracious and compassionate God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, and one who relents concerning evil.

Nahum 1:3

3
Yahweh is slow to anger and great in power,
And Yahweh will by no means leave the guilty unpunished.

ב  Beth

In whirlwind and storm is His way,
And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.
