Psalm 103:13-18

New International Version

¹³As a father has compassion^(A) on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
¹⁴for he knows how we are formed,^(B)
    he remembers that we are dust.^(C)
¹⁵The life of mortals is like grass,^(D)
    they flourish like a flower^(E) of the field;
¹⁶the wind blows^(F) over it and it is gone,
    and its place^(G) remembers it no more.
¹⁷But from everlasting to everlasting
    the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
    and his righteousness with their children’s children^(H)—
¹⁸with those who keep his covenant^(I)
    and remember^(J) to obey his precepts.^(K)

Romans 7:14-25

New International Version

¹⁴We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,^(A) sold^(B) as a slave to sin.^(C) ¹⁵I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.^(D) ¹⁶And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.^(E) ¹⁷As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.^(F) ¹⁸For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.^[a]^(G) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. ¹⁹For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.^(H) ²⁰Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.^(I)

²¹So I find this law at work:^(J) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. ²²For in my inner being^(K) I delight in God’s law;^(L) ²³but I see another law at work in me, waging war^(M) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin^(N) at work within me. ²⁴What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?^(O) ²⁵Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!^(P)
