Psalm 103:8-16

 ⁸ The LORD is compassionate and gracious, 
       slow to anger, abounding in love.

 ⁹ He will not always accuse, 
       nor will he harbor his anger forever;

 ¹⁰ he does not treat us as our sins deserve 
       or repay us according to our iniquities.

 ¹¹ For as high as the heavens are above the earth, 
       so great is his love for those who fear him;

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

 ¹³ As a father has compassion on his children, 
       so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;

 ¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed, 
       he remembers that we are dust.

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

 ¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone, 
       and its place remembers it no more.
