|
4. who delivers your life from the Pit, who crowns you with his loyal love and compassion,

|
5. who satisfies your life with good things, so your youth is renewed like an eagle's.
|
5. Who satisfieth H7646 thy mouth H5716 with good H2896 things; so that thy youth H5271 is renewed H2318 like the eagle H5404 's.
|

|
10. He does not deal with us as our sins deserve; he does not repay us as our misdeeds deserve.
|

|
11. For as the skies are high above the earth, so his loyal love towers over his faithful followers.
|
11. For H3588 as the heaven H8064 is high H1361 above H5921 the earth H776 , so great H1396 is his mercy H2617 toward H5921 them that fear H3373 him.
|
12. As far as the eastern horizon is from the west, so he removes the guilt of our rebellious actions from us.
|
12. As far H7350 as the east H4217 is from the west H4480 H4628 , so far hath he removed H7368 H853 our transgressions H6588 from H4480 us.
|
13. As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on his faithful followers.
|
13. Like as a father H1 pitieth H7355 H5921 his children H1121 , so the LORD H3068 pitieth H7355 H5921 them that fear H3373 him.
|
14. For he knows what we are made of; he realizes we are made of clay.
|
14. For H3588 he H1931 knoweth H3045 our frame H3336 ; he remembereth H2142 that H3588 we H587 are dust H6083 .
|
15. A person's life is like grass. Like a flower in the field it flourishes,
|
15. As for man H582 , his days H3117 are as grass H2682 : as a flower H6731 of the field H7704 , so H3651 he flourisheth H6692 .
|
16. but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
|
16. For H3588 the wind H7307 passeth H5674 over it , and it is gone H369 ; and the place H4725 thereof shall know H5234 it no H3808 more H5750 .
|
17. But the LORD continually shows loyal love to his faithful followers, and is faithful to their descendants,
|
17. But the mercy H2617 of the LORD H3068 is from everlasting H4480 H5769 to H5704 everlasting H5769 upon H5921 them that fear H3373 him , and his righteousness H6666 unto children H1121 's children H1121 ;
|
18. to those who keep his covenant, who are careful to obey his commands.
|
18. To such as keep H8104 his covenant H1285 , and to those that remember H2142 his commandments H6490 to do H6213 them.
