Psalms 103:17 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 103:17

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 is¹ 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,

18 ^aTo such as keep His covenant,
And to those who remember His commandments to do them.

19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,
And ^aHis kingdom rules over all.

20 ^aBless the Lord, you His angels,
Who excel in strength, who ^bdo His word,
Heeding the voice of His word.
