Psalms 103:6-18

6The LordH3068 1performsH6213 2righteousH6666 deedsH6666 And judgmentsH4941 for allH3605 who are 3oppressedH6231.7He 4madeH3045 knownH3045 His waysH1870 to MosesH4872, His 5deedsH5949 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478.8The LordH3068 is 6compassionateH7349 and graciousH2587, 7SlowH750 to angerH639 and aboundingH7227 in mercyH2617.9He 8will not alwaysH5331 contendH7378 with us, NorH3808 will He 9keepH5201 His anger foreverH5769.10He has 10not dealtH6213 with us according to our sinsH2399, NorH3808 rewardedH1580 us according to our guiltyH5771 deedsH5771.11For as highH1361 11as the heavensH8064 are aboveH5921 the earthH776, So greatH1396 is His mercyH2617 towardH5921 those who 12fearH3372 Him.12As farH7368 as the eastH4217 is from the westH4628, So farH7368 has He 13removedH7368 our wrongdoingsH6588 from us.13Just 14as a fatherH1 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on his childrenH1121, So the LordH3068 hasH7355 compassionH7355 on those who 15fearH3372 Him.14For 16He HimselfH1931 knowsH3045 17our formH3336; He 18is mindfulH2142 that we are nothing but 19dustH6083.

15As for manH582, his daysH3117 are 20like grassH2682; Like a 21flowerH6731 of the fieldH7704, soH3651 he flourishesH6692.16WhenH3588 the 22windH7307 has passedH5674 overH5674 it, it is noH369 moreH369, And its 23placeH4725 noH3808 longerH5750 knowsH5234 aboutH5234 it.17But the 2425mercyH2617 of the LordH3068 is from everlastingH5769 to everlastingH5769 for those who 26fearH3372 Him, And His justiceH6666 27to the children’sH1121 childrenH1121,18To 28those who keepH8104 His covenantH1285 And rememberH2142 His preceptsH6490, so as to doH6213 them.
