10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD’s love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children’s children—
17 But the LORD's faithful love is from forever ago to forever from now for those who honor him. And God's righteousness reaches to the grandchildren
