Psalms 103:8-17
8The LordH3068 is 1compassionateH7349 and graciousH2587, 2SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in lovingkindnessH2617.9He 3will not alwaysH5331 striveH7378 with us, NorH3808 will He 4keepH5201 His anger foreverH5769.10He has 5not dealtH6213 with us according to our sinsH2399, NorH3808 rewardedH1580 us according to our iniquitiesH5771.11For as highH1361 6as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776, So greatH1396 is His lovingkindnessH2617 towardH5921 those who 7fearH3372 Him.12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, So farH7368 has He 8removedH7368 our transgressionsH6588 from us.13Just 9as a fatherH1 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on his childrenH1121, So the LordH3068 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on those who 10fearH3372 Him.14For 11He HimselfH1931 knowsH3045 12our frameH3336; He 13is mindfulH2142 that we are but 14dustH6083.
15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are 15like grassH2682; As a 16flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, soH3651 he flourishesH6692.16WhenH3588 the 17windH7307 has passedH5674 overH5674 it, it is noH369 moreH369, And its 18placeH4725 acknowledgesH5234 it noH3808 longerH5750.17But the 19lovingkindnessH2617 of the LordH3068 is from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769 on those who 20fearH3372 Him, And His 21righteousnessH6666 22to children’sH1121 childrenH1121,
