|
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
|
|
11 (102-11) For according to the height of the heaven above the earth: he hath strengthened his mercy towards them that fear him.
|
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;

|
14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
|
|
15 (102-15) Man’s days are as grass, as the flower of the field so shall he flourish.
|
15 As for man, his days are like grass, he flourishes like a flower of the field;
|
|
16 (102-16) For the spirit shall pass in him, and he shall not be: and he shall know his place no more.
|
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
|
|
17 (102-17) But the mercy of the Lord is from eternity and unto eternity upon them that fear him: And his justice unto children’s children,
|
17 But from everlasting to everlasting the LORD's love is with those who fear him, and his righteousness with their children's children--
