Psalms 103:14 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 103:14

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 He¹ 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 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.
