who forgives all your depravities (moral evils); who heals all your diseases;
הגואל משחת חייכי המעטרכי חסד ורחמים 4
who redeems your life from destruction; who crowns you with chesed ·loving-kindness· and tender rachamim ·merciful loves·;

Adonai is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abundant in chesed ·loving-kindness·.
לא-לנצח יריב ולא לעולם יטור 9
He will not always accuse; neither will he stay angry forever.
לא כחטאינו עשה לנו ולא כעונתינו גמל עלינו 10
He has not dealt with us according to our crimes deserving penalty, sins ·missing the goal·, nor repaid us for our depravities (moral evils).
כי כגבה שמים על-הארץ-- גבר חסדו על-יראיו 11
For as the heavens are high above the earth, so great is his chesed ·loving-kindness· toward those who fear him.

כרחם אב על-בנים-- רחם יהוה על-יראיו 13
Like a father has racham ·compassionate merciful love· on his children, so Adonai has racham ·compassionate merciful love· on those who fear him.

For he knows how we are made. He remembers that we are dust.
אנוש כחציר ימיו כציץ השדה כן יציץ 15
As for man, his days are like grass. As a flower of the field, so he flourishes.
כי רוח עברה-בו ואיננו ולא-יכירנו עוד מקומו 16
For the wind passes over it, and it is gone. Its place remembers it no more.
וחסד יהוה מעולם ועד-עולם-- על-יראיו וצדקתו לבני בנים 17
But Adonai’s chesed ·loving-kindness· is from everlasting to everlasting with those who fear him, his righteousness to children’s children;

to those who keep his covenant ·binding contract between two or more parties·, to those who remember to obey his precepts.
יהוה--בשמים הכין כסאו ומלכותו בכל משלה 19
Adonai has established his throne in the heavens. His kingdom rules over all.
