De Heer is meelevend
Refrein:
De Heer is meelevend en
genadig,
Hij blijft geduldig en groot
is Zijn trouw.
Twisten doet Hij niet
eindeloos,
Zijn toorn zal gaandeweg
verdwijnen.
1.Want zo hoog
(zo hoog) als de hemel
zich
uitspreidt boven ons,
zo
groot (zo groot) is Zijn onwrikbare
liefde
voor wie Hem vrezen. (refrein)
2. Zo ver (zo ver) als het oosten
van het westen vandaan is,
zo ver (zo
ver) heeft Hij onze
zonden van ons
verwijderd. (refrein)
3. Net
zoals (zoals) een vader
zich ontfermd
over zijn kind,
zo ontfermd
(ontfermd) Zich de Vader
liefdevol
over wie Hem vrezen. (refrein)
Literal translation of The Lord Is Compassionate:
Chorus:
The Lord is
sympathetic/compassionate and gracious,
He remains patient and great
is His faithfulness.
He does not quarrel endlessly,
His anger will
gradually disappear.
1. For as high (as high) as the heaven
expands itself above us,
so great (so great) is His
unwavering/steadfast love
for those who fear Him. (chorus)
2.
As far (as far) as the east
is from the west,
so far (so far) has
He removed
our sins from us.
3. Just as (as) a father
takes
care of his child,
that is how the Father lovingly cares (cares)
for those who fear Him. (chorus)
