So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

As a father pitieth his children,

So Jehovah pitieth those that fear him.

For he knoweth our frame,

He remembereth that we are dust.

As for man, his days are as grass;

As a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.

For the wind passeth over it, and it is gone;

And the place thereof knoweth it no more.

The mercy of Jehovah is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him,
