11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his love for those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear him;

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far does he remove our transgressions from us.

13 As a father shows compassion to his children,

so the Lord shows compassion to those who fear him.

11 For his unfailing love toward those who fear him

is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth.

12 He has removed our sins as far from us

as the east is from the west.

13 The Lord is like a father to his children,

tender and compassionate to those who fear him.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is His mercy toward those who fear Him;

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pities his children,

So the Lord pities those who fear Him.

11 As high as the sky is above the earth,

so great is his love for those who respect him.

12 He has taken our sins away from us

as far as the east is from west.

13 The Lord has mercy on those who respect him,

as a father has mercy on his children.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

So great is his lovingkindness toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children,

So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his loving-kindness toward them that fear him. 12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us. 13 As a father pitieth his children, so Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

11 As high as the heavens are above the earth— 

that is how vast his mercy is toward those who fear him. 

12 As far as the east is from the west— 

that is how far he has removed our rebellious acts from himself. 

13 As a father has compassion for his children, 

so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him. 

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

so great is His faithful love

toward those who fear Him.

so far has He removed

our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion on his children,

so the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far he removes our transgressions from us.

13 As a father has compassion for his children,

so the Lord has compassion for those who fear him.

11 For as the heavens are high above the earth,

so his loyal love prevails over those who fear him.

12 As far as east is from west,

so he has removed far from us the guilt of our transgressions.

13 As a father pities his children,

so Yahweh pities those who fear him.

11 His love for those who have respect for him

is as high as the heavens are above the earth.

12 He has removed our lawless acts from us

as far as the east is from the west.

13 A father is tender and kind to his children.

In the same way, the Lord is tender and kind

to those who have respect for him.

11 For as high as the heavens are above the earth,

So great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.

12 As far as the east is from the west,

So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

13 Just as a father has compassion on his children,

So the Lord has compassion on those who fear Him.
