11For as the heauen is high aboue the earth: so great is his mercy toward them that feare him. 12As farre as the East is from the West: so farre hath hee remooued our transgressions from vs. 13Like as a father pitieth his children: so the Lord pitieth them that feare him. 14For he knoweth our frame: hee remembreth that we are dust. 15As for man, his dayes are as grasse: as a flower of the field, so he flourisheth.
