11 As high as the sky is above the earth,so great is his love for those who honour him.
12 As far as the east is from the west,so far does he remove our sins from us.
13 As a father is kind to his children,so the Lord is kind to those who honour him.
14 He knows what we are made of;he remembers that we are dust.
15 As for us, our life is like grass.We grow and flourish like a wild flower;
16 then the wind blows on it, and it is gone —no one sees it again.
17 But for those who honour the Lord, his love lasts for ever,and his goodness endures for all generations
