Psalm 103:8-13

Contemporary English Version

⁸ The Lord is merciful!
He is kind and patient,
    and his love never fails.
⁹ The Lord won’t always be angry
    and point out our sins;
¹⁰     he doesn’t punish us
    as our sins deserve.

¹¹ How great is God’s love for all
    who worship him?
    Greater than the distance
    between heaven and earth!
¹² How far has the Lord taken
    our sins from us?
    Farther than the distance
    from east to west!

¹³ Just as parents are kind
    to their children,
the Lord is kind
    to all who worship him,
