Psalm 103:13-18
New King James Version
Psalm 103:13-18
New King James Version
13 (A)As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
14 For He [a]knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, (B)his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 (C)For the wind passes over it, and it is [b]gone,
And (D)its place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 (E)To such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

Psalm 103:13-18
New International Version
13 As a father has compassion(A) on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed,(B)
he remembers that we are dust.(C)
15 The life of mortals is like grass,(D)
they flourish like a flower(E) of the field;
16 the wind blows(F) over it and it is gone,
and its place(G) 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(H)—
18 with those who keep his covenant(I)
and remember(J) to obey his precepts.(K)
