'The Lord is full of pity and compassion.'

As a father has compassion on his children, so has the LORD compassion on all who fear him. - The LORD is gracious and compassionate. He keeps his covenant always in mind.

How could he, your guardian, sleep? The guardian of Israel never slumbers, never sleeps. - As and eagle watches over its nest, hovers above its young, spreads its pinions and takes them up, and caries them upon its wings. The LORD alone led him, no alien god at his side.

Nor has his compassion failed; they are new every morning, so great is his constancy.

When he came ashore, he saw a great crowd; his heart went out to them, and he cured those of them who were sick. - The same yesterday, today, and forever.

Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Are not sparrows two a penny? Yet without your Father’s leave one of them can fall to the ground. So have no fear.
