12. As far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our iniquities from us.
13. As a father is compassionate to his sons, so has the Lord been compassionate to those who fear him.
14. For he knows our form. He has called to mind that we are dust.
15. Man: his days are like hay. Like the flower of the field, so will he flourish.
16. For the spirit in him will pass away, and it will not remain, and he will know his place no longer.
