New English Translation
Psalm 103:10-12
New English Translation
10 He does not deal with us as our sins deserve;[a]
he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.[b]
11 For as the skies are high above the earth,
so his loyal love towers[c] over his faithful followers.[d]
12 As far as the eastern horizon[e] is from the west,[f]
so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions[g] from us.
