10. He has not dealt with us after our sins nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11. For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great are His mercy and loving-kindness toward those who reverently and worshipfully fear Him.
12. As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.
13. As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe].
