12. He has removed our sins as far from usas the east is from the west.
13. The lord is like a father to his children,tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
14. For he knows how weak we are;he remembers we are only dust.
15. Our days on earth are like grass;like wildflowers, we bloom and die.
16. The wind blows, and we are gone—as though we had never been here.
