Psalms 103:13
Psalms 103:13 King James Version (KJV)
Like as a father pitieth his children, So the LORD pitieth them that fear him.
Psalms 103:13 New International Version (NIV)
As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him
Psalms 103:13 New King James Version (NKJV)
As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him.
Psalms 103:6-18 The Message (MSG)
GOD makes everything come out right; he puts victims back on their feet. He showed Moses how he went about his work, opened up his plans to all Israel. GOD is sheer mercy and grace; not easily angered, he’s rich in love. He doesn’t endlessly nag and scold, nor hold grudges forever. He doesn’t treat us as our sins deserve, nor pay us back in full for our wrongs. As high as heaven is over the earth, so strong is his love to those who fear him. And as far as sunrise is from sunset, he has separated us from our sins. As parents feel for their children, GOD feels for those who fear him. He knows us inside and out, keeps in mind that we’re made of mud. Men and women don’t live very long; like wildflowers they spring up and blossom, But a storm snuffs them out just as quickly, leaving nothing to show they were here. GOD’s love, though, is ever and always, eternally present to all who fear him, Making everything right for them and their children as they follow his Covenant ways and remember to do whatever he said.

Just as a father has compassion on his children, So the LORD has compassion on those who fear Him.

Just as a father loves his children, So the LORD loves those who fear and worship Him [with awe-filled respect and deepest reverence].
Psalms 103:13 New Living Translation (NLT)
The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him.
Psalms 103:13 The Passion Translation (TPT)
The same way a loving father feels toward his children— that’s but a sample of your tender feelings toward us, your beloved children, who live in awe of you.
