10. Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.
11. For, as the height of the heavens [is] above the earth, His kindness hath been mighty over those fearing Him.
12. As the distance of east from west He hath put far from us our transgressions.
13. As a father hath mercy on sons, Jehovah hath mercy on those fearing Him.
14. For He hath known our frame, Remembering that we [are] dust.
15. Mortal man! as grass [are] his days, As a flower of the field so he flourisheth;
16. For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.
