Psalm 103:13-22

New Living Translation

¹³The Lord is like a father to his children,
    tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
¹⁴For he knows how weak we are;
    he remembers we are only dust.
¹⁵Our days on earth are like grass;
    like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
¹⁶The wind blows, and we are gone—
    as though we had never been here.
¹⁷But the love of the Lord remains forever
    with those who fear him.
His salvation extends to the children’s children
¹⁸    of those who are faithful to his covenant,
    of those who obey his commandments!

¹⁹The Lord has made the heavens his throne;
from there he rules over everything.

²⁰Praise the Lord, you angels,
    you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
    listening for each of his commands.
²¹Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
    who serve him and do his will!
²²Praise the Lord, everything he has created,
    everything in all his kingdom.
