Psalm 103:15-19

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

¹⁵ As for man, his days are like _t grass;
he flourishes like _u a flower of the field;
¹⁶ for _v the wind passes over it, and _w it is gone,
and _x its place knows it no more.
¹⁷ But _y the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on _p those who fear him,
and his righteousness to _z children's children,
¹⁸ to those who _a keep his covenant
and _b remember to do his commandments.
¹⁹ The Lord has _c established his throne in the heavens,
and his _d kingdom rules over all.
