Psalm 103:8-14

Revised Standard Version

⁸ The Lord is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
⁹ He will not always chide,
    nor will he keep his anger for ever.
¹⁰ He does not deal with us according to our sins,
    nor requite us according to our iniquities.
¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth,
    so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
¹² as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
¹³ As a father pities his children,
    so the Lord pities those who fear him.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame;
    he remembers that we are dust.
