Psalm 103:15-17
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
15 As for man, his days are like the grass;
he blossoms like a flower in the field.(A)
16 A wind sweeps over it and it is gone;
its place knows it no more.
17 But the Lord’s mercy is from age to age,
toward those who fear him.
His salvation is for the children’s children
Psalm 103:15-17
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
15 As for man, his days are like grass;
he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16 for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,
and its place knows it no more.
17 But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
upon those who fear him,
and his righteousness to children’s children,
Psalm 103:15-17

15 As for us, our life is like grass.
We grow and flourish like a wild flower;
16 then the wind blows on it, and it is gone—
no one sees it again.

and his goodness endures for all generations
