Psalms 103:7-17

MSG

NIV

7 He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel.
7 He made known his ways to Moses, his deeds to the people of Israel:
8 God is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he's rich in love.
8 The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love.
9 He doesn't endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever.
9 He will not always accuse, nor will he harbor his anger forever;
10 He doesn't treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs.
10 he does not treat us as our sins deserve or repay us according to our iniquities.
11 As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him.
11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him;
12 And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins.
12 as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
13 As parents feel for their children, God feels for those who fear him.
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we're made of mud.
14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
15 Men and women don't live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom,
15 The life of mortals is like grass, they flourish like a flower of the field;
16 But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here.
16 the wind blows over it and it is gone, and its place remembers it no more.
17 God's love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their 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—
