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;

14 for he knows how we are formed,

he remembers that we are dust.

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.

14 For he knows our frame;

he remembers that we are dust.

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 the Lord pitieth them that fear him. 14 For he knoweth our frame; He remembereth that we are dust.

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.

14 For he knows how weak we are;

he remembers we are only dust.

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.

14 He knows how we were made;

he remembers that we are dust.

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.

14 For he knoweth our frame;

He remembereth that we are dust.

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. 14 For himself knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

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. 

14 He certainly knows what we are made of. 

He bears in mind that we are dust. 

12 As far as the east is from the west,

so far has He removed

14 For He knows what we are made of,

remembering that we are dust.

12 as far as the east is from the west,

so far he removes our transgressions from us.

14 For he knows how we were made;

he remembers that we are dust.

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.

14 For he knows our frame.

He remembers that we are dust.

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.

14 He knows what we are made of.

He remembers that we are dust.

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.

14 For He Himself knows our frame;

He is mindful that we are but dust.
