10 He does not deal with us according to our sins,

nor requite us according to our iniquities.

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 does he remove our transgressions from us.

13 As a father pities his children,

so the Lord pities those who fear him.

14 For he knows our frame;

he remembers that we are dust.
