Psalm 103:6-14

Good News Translation

⁶ The Lord judges in favor of the oppressed
    and gives them their rights.
⁷ He revealed his plans to Moses
    and let the people of Israel see his mighty deeds.
^8 (A)The Lord is merciful and loving,
    slow to become angry and full of constant love.
⁹ He does not keep on rebuking;
    he is not angry forever.
¹⁰ He does not punish us as we deserve
    or repay us according to our sins and wrongs.
¹¹ As high as the sky is above the earth,
    so great is his love for those who honor him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he remove our sins from us.
¹³ As a father is kind to his children,
    so the Lord is kind to those who honor him.
¹⁴ He knows what we are made of;
    he remembers that we are dust.
