Psalms 103:11-14

Psalms 103

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

11For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His loving devotion for those who fear Him.

12As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

14For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.
