Verse 8 is found in chapter 103 of Psalms. Psalm 103 invites the soul to deliberately remember the Lord’s benefits. Forgiveness, healing, rescue, mercy, and renewal appear as divine actions that prevent grace from being forgotten. The comparison between a father’s compassion and God’s compassion highlights the Lord’s knowledge of human frailty. The conclusion expands praise from the individual to angels, works, and all creation.

Barmherzig und gnädig ist der HERR, geduldig und von großer Güte.

L'Eternel est miséricordieux et compatissant, Lent à la colère et riche en bonté;
Il Signore è pietoso e clemente; Lento all’ira, e di gran benignità.
Misericordioso e piedoso é o SENHOR; longânimo e grande em benignidade.
耶和華有憐憫,有恩惠, 不輕易發怒,且有豐盛的慈愛。
