11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his love(A) for those who fear him;(B)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions(C) from us.

13 As a father has compassion(D) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(E)
    he remembers that we are dust.(F)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(G)

16 the wind blows(I) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(J) remembers it no more.
