11. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13. Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14. For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
16. For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more.
17. But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children;
18. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his precepts to do them.
19. The Lord hath established his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom ruleth over all.
20. Bless the Lord, ye angels of his: ye mighty in strength, that fulfill his word, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21. Bless the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
