11. For as the heavens are high above the earth,so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
12. As far as the east is from the west,so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13. Like a father has compassion on his children,so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
14. For he knows how we are made.He remembers that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are like grass.As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone.Its place remembers it no more.
17. But the Lord’s loving kindness is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him,his righteousness to children’s children;
18. to those who keep his covenant,to those who remember to obey his precepts.
19. The Lord has established his throne in the heavens.His kingdom rules over all.
20. Praise the Lord, you angels of his,who are mighty in strength, who fulfill his word,obeying the voice of his word.
