13. Like a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord gives compassion to those who fear Him.
14. For He knows how we are formed;He remembers that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are as grass;as a flower of the field he flourishes.
16. For the hot wind passes over it, and it is gone;the place where it was is not known.
17. But the mercy of the Lordis from everlasting to everlastingupon those who fear Him,and His righteousness to children’s children,
18. to those who keep His covenant,and to those who 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, you His angels,who are mighty, and do His commands,and obey the voice of His word.
