All my goodness
He cried to the Lord in his trouble, and God delivers him out of his distress. His eyes are opened in quite another manner than before, even to see a loving, gracious God. While he is calling, I beseech you, show me your glory, he hears a voice in his inmost soul, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will show mercy to whom I will show mercy.
And it is not long before the Lord descends in the cloud, and proclaims the name of the Lord. Then he sees, but not with eyes of flesh and blood, The Lord, the Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, keeping mercy for thousands, and forgiving iniquities and transgression and sin.

2. He cried unto the Lord in his trouble, and God delivers him out of his distress. His eyes are opened in quite another manner than before, even to see a loving, gracious God. While he is calling, I beseech thee shew me thy glory, he hears a voice in his inmost soul, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord: I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will shew mercy to whom I will shew mercy. And it is not long before the Lord descends in the cloud, and proclaims the name of the Lord. Then he sees, (but not with eyes of flesh and blood) The Lord, the Lord God: merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth: keeping mercy for thousands, and forgiving iniquities and transgression and sin.
