Psalm 103:6-18
English Standard Version
6 The Lord works (A)righteousness
and justice for all who are oppressed.
7 He made known his (B)ways to Moses,
his (C)acts to the people of Israel.
8 The Lord is (D)merciful and gracious,
slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
9 (E)He will not always chide,
nor will he (F)keep his anger forever.
10 He does not deal with us (G)according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For (H)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his (I)steadfast love toward (J)those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he (K)remove our transgressions from us.
13 As (L)a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion (M)to those who fear him.
14 For he knows our frame;[a]
he (N)remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like (O)grass;
he flourishes like (P)a flower of the field;
16 for (Q)the wind passes over it, and (R)it is gone,
and (S)its place knows it no more.
17 But (T)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on (U)those who fear him,
and his righteousness to (V)children's children,
18 to those who (W)keep his covenant
and (X)remember to do his commandments.
