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)
    they flourish like a flower(H) of the field;
16 the wind blows(I) over it and it is gone,
    and its place(J) remembers it no more.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

16 For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
