Psalms 103:11 in Context — Psalms 103

9 Il ne conteste pas sans cesse, Il ne garde pas sa colère à toujours;

10 Il ne nous traite pas selon nos péchés, Il ne nous punit pas selon nos iniquités.

11 Mais autant les cieux sont élevés au-dessus de la terre, Autant sa bonté est grande pour ceux qui le craignent;

12 Autant l’orient est éloigné de l’occident, Autant il éloigne de nous nos transgressions.

13 Comme un père a compassion de ses enfants, L’Éternel a compassion de ceux qui le craignent.
