Such pity as a father hath unto his children dear; Like pity shews the Lord to such as worship him in fear.

Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As a father loves and pities his children, so the Lord loves and pities those who fear Him [with reverence, worship, and awe].

Like as a father pitieth his children, So Jehovah pitieth them that fear him.

Like a parent feels compassion for their children— that’s how the LORD feels compassion for those who honor him.

You irrigate the mountains from your heights. The earth will be satiated from the fruit of your works,

Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:

For as the heaven in its height the earth surmounteth far; So great to those that do him fear his tender mercies are:

But unto them that do him fear God's mercy never ends; And to their children's children still his righteousness extends:

But in all those that do him fear the Lord doth pleasure take; In those that to his mercy do by hope themselves betake.
