Verse 11 is found in chapter 103 of Psalms. Psalm 103 invites the soul to deliberately remember the Lord’s benefits. Forgiveness, healing, rescue, mercy, and renewal appear as divine actions that prevent grace from being forgotten. The comparison between a father’s compassion and God’s compassion highlights the Lord’s knowledge of human frailty. The conclusion expands praise from the individual to angels, works, and all creation.

Denn so hoch der Himmel über der Erde ist, läßt er seine Gnade walten über die, so ihn fürchten.
Porque como la altura de los cielos sobre la tierra, Engrandeció su misericordia sobre los que le temen.
Porque tan alto como están los cielos sobre la tierra, así de grande es su amor leal hacia quienes le temen.
Mais autant les cieux sont élevés au-dessus de la terre, Autant sa bonté est grande pour ceux qui le craignent;
Perciocchè, quanto sono alti i cieli sopra la terra, Tanto è grande la sua benignità inverso quelli che lo temono.
Pois assim como o céu está elevado acima da terra, assim é grande a sua misericórdia para com os que o temem.
天離地何等的高, 他的慈愛向敬畏他的人也是何等的大!
