13. Like a parent feels compassion for their children—that’s how the Lord feels compassion for those who honor him.
14. Because God knows how we’re made,God remembers we’re just dust.
15. The days of a human life are like grass:they bloom like a wildflower;
16. but when the wind blows through it, it’s gone;even the ground where it stood doesn’t remember it.
17. But the Lord’s faithful love is from forever ago to forever from nowfor those who honor him.And God’s righteousness reaches to the grandchildren
18. of those who keep his covenantand remember to keep his commands.
19. The Lord has established his throne in heaven,and his kingdom rules over all.
20. You divine messengers,bless the Lord!You who are mighty in power and keep his word,who obey everything he says,bless him!
21. All you heavenly forces,bless the Lord!All you who serve him and do his will,bless him!
22. All God’s creatures,bless the Lord!Everywhere, throughout his kingdom,let my whole beingbless the Lord!
