Psalm 103C: Psalm 103:14-18

Compassion, 87.87. [B flat]

9. 14 For our frame He well remembers;
That we are but dust He knows;
15 As for man, like grass he rises;
As the flower in field he grows;

10. 16 Over it the wind now passes;
In a moment it is gone;
In the place where once it flourished
It shall never more be known.

11. 17 But Jehovah's loving kindness
Unto them that fear His name
From eternity abideth
To eternity the same.

12. And His righteousness remaineth
To their children and their seed,
18 Who His covenant remember
And His precepts hear and heed.
