Title: Psalm 103, Extracts Post by: Shin on February 01, 2010, 01:02:48 AM Psalm 103, Extracts
The Lord is compassion and kindness, full of patience, full of mercy. He will not fight against you for ever: he will not always be angry. He does not treat us as our sins deserve; he does not pay us back for our wrongdoing. As high as the sky above the earth, so great is his kindness to those who fear him. As far as east is from west, so far he has put our wrongdoing from us. As a father cares for his children, so the Lord cares for those who fear him. For he knows how we are made, he remembers we are nothing but dust. Man - his life is like grass, he blossoms and withers like flowers of the field. The wind blows and carries him away: no trace of him remains. Title: Re: Psalm 103, Extracts Post by: Brigid on February 01, 2010, 01:07:27 AM That is sooooo wonderful!!!! I love it!

I thank the Lord for being understanding: He remembers that we dust and so, He knows that our existence is dependent on His grace!
