The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
slow to anger, abounding in
love.
He will not always accuse,
nor will he harbor his anger
forever;
he does not treat us as our sins deserve
or repay us according to our
iniquities.
For as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his love for
those who fear him;
as far as the east is from the west,
so far has he removed our
transgressions from us.
As a father has compassion on his children,
so the Lord has compassion on
those who fear him;
for he knows how we are formed,
he remembers that we are
dust.
The life of mortals is like grass,
they flourish like a flower
of the field;
the wind blows over it and it is gone,
and its place remembers it no
more.
