New English Translation
Psalm 103:15-17
New English Translation
15 A person’s life is like grass.[a]
Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
16 but when the hot wind[b] blows, it disappears,
and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
17 But the Lord continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers,[c]
and is faithful to their descendants,[d]

15 The life of mortals is like grass,(A)
they flourish like a flower(B) of the field;

the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,
and his righteousness with their children’s children(E)—
