Psalm 103:6-14

Common English Bible

⁶ The Lord works righteousness;
    does justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ God made his ways known to Moses;
    made his deeds known to the Israelites.
⁸ The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
    very patient, and full of faithful love.
⁹ God won’t always play the judge;
    he won’t be angry forever.
¹⁰ He doesn’t deal with us according to our sin
    or repay us according to our wrongdoing,
¹¹     because as high as heaven is above the earth,
    that’s how large God’s faithful love is for those who honor him.
¹² As far as east is from west—
    that’s how far God has removed our sin from us.
¹³ Like a parent feels compassion for their children—
    that’s how the Lord feels compassion for those who honor him.
¹⁴ Because God knows how we’re made,
    God remembers we’re just dust.
