7 Let the wicked change their ways
and banish the very thought of doing wrong.
Let them turn to the Lord that he may have mercy on them.

8 “My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.
“And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.

so my ways are higher than your ways
and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Psalm 103:8-18
New Living Translation
8 The Lord is compassionate and merciful,
slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.
9 He will not constantly accuse us,
nor remain angry forever.
10 He does not punish us for all our sins;
he does not deal harshly with us, as we deserve.
11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him
is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.
12 He has removed our sins as far from us
as the east is from the west.
13 The Lord is like a father to his children,
tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
14 For he knows how weak we are;
he remembers we are only dust.
15 Our days on earth are like grass;
like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
16 The wind blows, and we are gone—
as though we had never been here.
17 But the love of the Lord remains forever
with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children
18 of those who are faithful to his covenant,
of those who obey his commandments!

8 The Lord is compassionate and gracious,(A)
slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger forever;(B)
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve(C)
or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love(D) for those who fear him;(E)
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our transgressions(F) from us.
13 As a father has compassion(G) on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(H)
he remembers that we are dust.(I)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(J)
they flourish like a flower(K) of the field;
16 the wind blows(L) over it and it is gone,
and its place(M) remembers it no more.
17 But from everlasting to everlasting
the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children(N)—
18 with those who keep his covenant(O)
and remember(P) to obey his precepts.(Q)
