Psalm 103:11-14

Bless the Lord, O My Soul

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.
¹⁴ For he knows our frame; ₁
he _s remembers that we are dust.
