Psalm 103:10-13

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

10 He does not deal with us m according to our sins,
nor repay us according to our iniquities.
11 For n as high as the heavens are above the earth,
so great is his o steadfast love toward p those who fear him;
12 as far as the east is from the west,
so far does he q remove our transgressions from us.
13 As r a father shows compassion to his children,
so the Lord shows compassion p to those who fear him.
