They will come (E)trembling out of their [a]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (F)dread
And they will be afraid before You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (G)pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the (H)remnant of His [b]possession?

Because He (J)delights in [c]unchanging love.
