Psalm 10312

Psalm 103:12 is a verse from the Book of Psalms in the Hebrew Bible and the Christian Old Testament. The verse is part of a psalm attributed to King David, which is a hymn of praise to God for His mercy and forgiveness. The verse reads: "As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us" (KJV). In Hebrew, the verse is written as: "מִרְחַק-מִזְרָח, מִמַּעֲרָב--מִרְחַק, רָחַץ מִמֶּנּוּ אֶת-עֲוֺנֹתֵינוּ." This metaphorical language emphasizes the completeness and finality of God's forgiveness, comparing the distance of the removal of sins to the vast separation between the east and west. The verse is often cited in discussions about divine forgiveness and the nature of repentance. Translations of this verse in other languages include: "Como el oriente se aleja del occidente, así alejó de nosotros nuestras rebeliones" in Spanish, "Car lorient est loin de loccident, ainsi a-t-il éloigné nos transgressions de nous" in French, and "Denn so weit der Morgen ist vom Abend entfernt, so weit hat er unsere Übertretungen von uns entfernt" in German.
