11 For (A)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his (B)steadfast love toward (C)those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he (D)remove our transgressions from us.
13 As (E)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion (F)to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;[a]
    he (G)remembers that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like (H)grass;
    he flourishes like (I)a flower of the field;
16 for (J)the wind passes over it, and (K)it is gone,
    and (L)its place knows it no more.
17 But (M)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on (N)those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to (O)children's children,
18 to those who (P)keep his covenant
    and (Q)remember to do his commandments.
