Psalm 103:15

The Forgiving God

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.
¹⁶ When the wind has passed over it, it is no more,
And its place acknowledges it no longer.

Of those who are overcome with wine!

And the fading flower of its glorious beauty,
Which is at the head of the fertile valley,

And as soon as it is in his hand,
He swallows it.

And of the son of man who is made like grass,

The blossoms of Lebanon wither.
