For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far does he remove our transgressions from us. As a father shows compassion to his children, so the LORD shows compassion to those who fear him. For he knows our frame; he remembers that we are dust.
Now as David strives to describe the incredible munificence of the Almighty towards those whom He loves, human language is not up to the task, whether it be Hebrew or English. How can a finite creature, circumscribed by time and space, describe or comprehend the Infinite? Dust, just dust, from whence I came, to which I shall return.
