14 For he knows how we are formed,
    remembers that we are dust.(A)
15 As for man, his days are like the grass;
    he blossoms like a flower in the field.(B)

    its place knows it no more.
17 But the Lord’s mercy is from age to age,
    toward those who fear him.
His salvation is for the children’s children
18     of those who keep his covenant,
    and remember to carry out his precepts.

    and his righteousness with their children’s children(G)
18 with those who keep his covenant(H)
    and remember(I) to obey his precepts.(J)
