      As a father has compassion for his children,

      So the Lord has compassion for those who fear

      Him. For He knows how we were made;

      He remembers that we are dust.

      As for mortals, their days are like grass;

      They flourish like a flower of the field;

      But the steadfast love of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting on those who fear Him,

      And His righteousness to children’s children,

      To those who keep His covenant and remember to do His commandments.

      The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,

      And His kingdom rules over all.

       From Psalm 103
