13. As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14. For he knows our frame;he remembers that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are like grass;he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16. for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more.
17. But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear him,and his righteousness to children’s children,
18. to those who keep his covenantand remember to do his commandments.
19. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens,and his kingdom rules over all.
20. Bless the Lord, O you his angels,you mighty ones who do his word,obeying the voice of his word!
21. Bless the Lord, all his hosts,his ministers, who do his will!
22. Bless the Lord, all his works,in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!
