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].
14. For He knows our frame, He [earnestly] remembers and imprints [on His heart] that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are as grass; as a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16. For the wind passes over it and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.
