Psalms 103:8-17

8Adonai is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and plentiful in mercy.

9He will not always accuse, nor will He keep His anger forever.

10He has not treated us according to our sins, or repaid us according to our iniquities.

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His mercy for those who fear Him.

12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children, so Adonai has compassion on those who fear Him.

14For He knows our frame. He remembers that we are but dust.

15As for man, his days are like grass— he flourishes like a flower of the field,

16but when the wind blows over it, it is gone, and its place is no longer known.

17But the mercy of Adonai is from everlasting to everlasting on those who revere Him, His righteousness to children’s children,
