| New Living Translation (NLT) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 12 He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is from the west. | 12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us. |
| 13 The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him. | 13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him; |
| 14 For he understands how weak we are; he knows we are only dust. | 14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust. |
