13 As a father pities his children,So the Lord pities those who fear Him.
14 For He knows our frame;He remembers that we are dust.
15 As for man, his days are like grass;As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
16 For the wind passes over it, and it is gone,And its place remembers it no more.
17 But the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlastingOn those who fear Him,And His righteousness to children’s children,
18 To such as keep His covenant,And to those who remember His commandments to do them.
19 The Lord has established His throne in heaven,And His kingdom rules over all.
