Psalm 103:14

The Forgiving God

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.
¹⁵ As for man, his days are like grass;
As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.

He Remembered

Knows Our Frame
