Read in context

Psalms 103:14–18 · Berean Standard Bible

14 For He knows our frame; He is mindful that we are dust.

15 As for man, his days are like grass— he blooms like a flower of the field;

16 when the wind passes over, it vanishes, and its place remembers it no more.

17 But from everlasting to everlasting the loving devotion of the LORD extends to those who fear Him, and His righteousness to their children’s children—

18 to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.
