11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;
12 As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He
aremoved our transgressions from us.
13 aAs a father pities
his children,
So the
Lord pities those who fear Him.
14 For He
1 knows our frame;
He remembers that we
are dust.
15 As for man,
ahis days
are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 aFor the wind passes over it, and it is
1 gone,
And
bits place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of the
Lord is from everlasting to everlasting
On those who fear Him,
And His righteousness to children’s children,
