Psalm 103:6-18

English Standard Version

⁶ The Lord works ^(A)righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷ He made known his ^(B)ways to Moses,
    his ^(C)acts to the people of Israel.
⁸ The Lord is ^(D)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
^9 (E)He will not always chide,
    nor will he ^(F)keep his anger forever.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us ^(G)according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For ^(H)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his ^(I)steadfast love toward ^(J)those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he ^(K)remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As ^(L)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion ^(M)to those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he ^(N)remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like ^(O)grass;
    he flourishes like ^(P)a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for ^(Q)the wind passes over it, and ^(R)it is gone,
    and ^(S)its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But ^(T)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^(U)those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to ^(V)children's children,
¹⁸ to those who ^(W)keep his covenant
    and ^(X)remember to do his commandments.
