Psalm 103:13-17
Easy-to-Read Version
13 The Lord is as kind to his followers
as a father is to his children.
14 He knows all about us.
He knows we are made from dust.
15 He knows our lives are short, that they are like grass.
He knows we are like a little wildflower that grows so quickly,
16 but when the hot wind blows, it dies.
Soon, you cannot even see where the flower was.
17 But the Lord has always loved his followers,
and he will continue to love them forever and ever!
He will be good to all their descendants,

Psalm 103:13-17
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)—
