But I show my love to thousands of generations of those who love me and obey my laws.

The LORD then passed in front of him and called out, "I, the LORD, am a God who is full of compassion and pity, who is not easily angered and who shows great love and faithfulness.

I keep my promise for thousands of generations and forgive evil and sin; but I will not fail to punish children and grandchildren to the third and fourth generation for the sins of their parents."

How wonderful are the good things you keep for those who honor you! Everyone knows how good you are, how securely you protect those who trust you.

Surely he is ready to save those who honor him, and his saving presence will remain in our land.

As high as the sky is above the earth, so great is his love for those who honor him.

But for those who honor the LORD, his love lasts forever, and his goodness endures for all generations

of those who are true to his covenant and who faithfully obey his commands.

He will bless everyone who honors him, the great and the small alike.

Let all who worship him say, "His love is eternal."

He supplies the needs of those who honor him; he hears their cries and saves them.

but he takes pleasure in those who honor him, in those who trust in his constant love.

Once again my people will see the difference between what happens to the righteous and to the wicked, to the person who serves me and the one who does not."

Then there came from the throne the sound of a voice, saying, "Praise our God, all his servants and all people, both great and small, who have reverence for him!"
