Context of Psalms 103:10
8The Lord is merciful and gracious, Slow to anger and abounding in compassion and lovingkindness. 9He will not always strive with us, Nor will He keep His anger forever. He has not dealt with us according to our sins [as we deserve], Nor rewarded us [with punishment] according to our wickedness. 11For as the heavens are high above the earth, So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence]. 12As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.
