| 4he continues to redeem your life from the Pit, and he continuously surrounds you with gracious love and compassion. | 4Who redeems your life from the pit, Who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; |

| 17Yet the LORD's gracious love remains throughout eternity for those who fear him and his righteous acts extend to their children's children, | 17But the lovingkindness of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him, And His righteousness to children's children, |
