12. As far as the east is from the west,so far has he removed our sins from us.
13. As a father has compassion on his children,so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him.
14. For he knows how we are formed,remembers that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are like the grass;he blossoms like a flower in the field.
16. A wind sweeps over it and it is gone;its place knows it no more.
17. But the Lord’s mercy is from age to age,toward those who fear him.His salvation is for the children’s children
