Psalm 103: 13-22

¹³ As a father has compassion on his children,     so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him; ¹⁴ for he knows how we are formed,     he remembers that we are dust. ¹⁵ The life of mortals is like grass,     they flourish like a flower of the field; ¹⁶ the wind blows over it and it is gone,     and its place remembers it no more. ¹⁷ But from everlasting to everlasting     the Lord’s love is with those who fear him,     and his righteousness with their children’s children— ¹⁸ with those who keep his covenant     and remember to obey his precepts.

¹⁹ The Lord has established his throne in heaven,     and his kingdom rules over all.

²⁰ Praise the Lord, you his angels,     you mighty ones who do his bidding,     who obey his word. ²¹ Praise the Lord, all his heavenly hosts,     you his servants who do his will. ²² Praise the Lord, all his works     everywhere in his dominion.

Praise the Lord, my soul.
