Psalm 103

The Lord is full of compassion and mercy *

long-suffering, and of great goodness.

He will not alway be chiding *

neither keepeth he his anger for ever.

He hath not dealt with us after our sins *

nor rewarded us according to our wickednesses.

For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth *

so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him.

Look how wide also the east is from the west *

so far hath he set our sins from us.

Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children *

even so is the Lord merciful unto them that fear him.

For he knoweth whereof we are made *

he remembereth that we are but dust.
