10He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
11For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
12As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
13Like as a father pitieth his children, so the Lord pitieth them that fear him.
14For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.
Verse explanation
East and west never meet, no matter how far one travels — unlike north and south, which have an endpoint at the poles. That is why this distance describes a forgiveness that pushes sin off to a place with no way back.
From the Psalms 103 study in Bible in Stories.
