11. For as high as the heavens are above the earth,so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;
12. as far as the east is from the west,so far does he remove our transgressions from us.
13. As a father shows compassion to his children,so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.
14. For he knows our frame;he remembers that we are dust.
15. As for man, his days are like grass;he flourishes like a flower of the field;
16. for the wind passes over it, and it is gone,and its place knows it no more.
