Psalm 103 v13-18

*********

Like as a father pities his

Children, so the Lord, true is this

Pities them that fear Him, for He

Knows our frame, and that dust we be

 

He remembers this, for He made

Human constitution displayed

As for mankind, their days are grass

Here for a short while, then they pass

 

As flowers of field they flourish

And daily food does them nourish

Then wind passes ovet, and bloes

Here man no permanent place knows

 

Gone, forgotten, remembered not

But the Lord, He a steadfast lot

His mercy is from e\'erlasting

To e\'erlasting, strength He does bring

 

His mercy to them that Him fear

And His righteousness to them near

Even to children\'s children, they

Keep His covenant, Him obeys
