¹⁷ They refused to listen,
And ^(A)did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You performed among them;
So they became stubborn and ^(B)appointed a leader to return to their slavery in ^[a]Egypt.
But You are a God ^(C)of forgiveness,
Gracious and compassionate,
Slow to anger and abounding in ^[b]mercy;
And You did not abandon them.

^7 (A)Let the wicked abandon his way,
And the unrighteous person his ^(B)thoughts;
And let him ^(C)return to the Lord,
And He will have ^(D)compassion on him,
And to our God,
For He will ^(E)abundantly pardon.
