Psalm 103:11-18

Evangelical Heritage Version

¹¹ Yes, as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so powerful is his mercy toward those who fear him.
¹² As distant as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our rebellious acts from us.
¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,
    so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows how we were formed.
He remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass.
Like a wildflower he blossoms.
¹⁶ Then the wind blows over it, and it is gone,
and its place recognizes it no more.

¹⁷ But the Lord’s mercy is from eternity to eternity
    over those who fear him,
and his righteousness is with their children’s children,
¹⁸     with those who keep his covenant,
    with those who remember his precepts in order to obey them.
