The passage in its setting

Meeting God in a verse begins with hearing it where it lives, in the flow of Psalms 103. Read it slowly, and let the focal verse settle into its own context.

10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
