Psalms 103:8-14

8The Lord is compassionate and merciful; he is patient and demonstrates great loyal love.

9He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.

10He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.

11For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.

12As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children, so the Lord has compassion on his faithful followers.

14For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.
