Psalm 103:11-17

New American Standard Bible

¹¹ For as high ^(A)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who ^[a]fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(B)removed our wrongdoings from us.
¹³ Just ^(C)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who ^[b]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(D)He Himself knows ^[c]our form;
He ^(E)is mindful that we are nothing but ^(F)dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(G)like grass;
Like a ^(H)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
¹⁶ When the ^(I)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its ^(J)place no longer knows about it.
¹⁷ But the ^[d](K)mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting for those who ^[e]fear Him,
And His justice ^(L)to the children’s children,
