Psalm 103:6-18

English Standard Version

⁶The Lord works ^(A)righteousness
    and justice for all who are oppressed.
⁷He made known his ^(B)ways to Moses,
    his ^(C)acts to the people of Israel.
⁸The Lord is ^(D)merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love.
⁹^(E)He will not always chide,
    nor will he ^(F)keep his anger forever.
¹⁰He does not deal with us ^(G)according to our sins,
    nor repay us according to our iniquities.
¹¹For ^(H)as high as the heavens are above the earth,
    so great is his ^(I)steadfast love toward ^(J)those who fear him;
¹²as far as the east is from the west,
    so far does he ^(K)remove our transgressions from us.
¹³As ^(L)a father shows compassion to his children,
    so the Lord shows compassion ^(M)to those who fear him.
¹⁴For he knows our frame;^[a]
    he ^(N)remembers that we are dust.

¹⁵As for man, his days are like ^(O)grass;
    he flourishes like ^(P)a flower of the field;
¹⁶for ^(Q)the wind passes over it, and ^(R)it is gone,
    and ^(S)its place knows it no more.
¹⁷But ^(T)the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on ^(U)those who fear him,
    and his righteousness to ^(V)children's children,
¹⁸to those who ^(W)keep his covenant
    and ^(X)remember to do his commandments.
