Psalm 103:13-17

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹³ Just ^(A)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who ^[a]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(B)He Himself knows ^[b]our frame;
He ^(C)is mindful that we are but ^(D)dust.

¹⁵ As for man, his days are ^(E)like grass;
As a ^(F)flower of the field, so he flourishes.
¹⁶ When the ^(G)wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its ^(H)place acknowledges it no longer.
¹⁷ But the ^(I)lovingkindness of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who ^[c]fear Him,
And His ^[d]righteousness ^(J)to children’s children,
