Psalm 103:8-14

New American Standard Bible 1995

⁸ The Lord is ^(A)compassionate and gracious,
^(B)Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness.
⁹ He ^(C)will not always strive with us,
Nor will He ^(D)keep His anger forever.
¹⁰ He has ^(E)not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as high ^(F)as the heavens are above the earth,
So great is His lovingkindness toward those who ^[a]fear Him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He ^(G)removed our transgressions from us.
¹³ Just ^(H)as a father has compassion on his children,
So the Lord has compassion on those who ^[b]fear Him.
¹⁴ For ^(I)He Himself knows ^[c]our frame;
He ^(J)is mindful that we are but ^(K)dust.
