Psalm 103:9-16
New King James Version
9 (A)He will not always strive with us,
Nor will He keep His anger forever.
10 (B)He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
Nor punished us according to our iniquities.
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 (C)removed our transgressions from us.
13 (D)As a father pities his children,
So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
14 For He [a]knows our frame;
He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, (E)his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 (F)For the wind passes over it, and it is [b]gone,
And (G)its place remembers it no more.
