Psalms 103:15-18

Psalms 103

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

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

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

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

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