18 Who is a God like You, who (A)pardons iniquity
And passes over the rebellious act of the (B)remnant of His [a]possession?
He does not (C)retain His anger forever,
Because He (D)delights in [b]unchanging love.
19 He will again have compassion on us;
(E)He will tread our iniquities under foot.
Yes, You will (F)cast all [c]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
20 You will give [d](G)truth to Jacob
And [e]unchanging love to Abraham,
Which You (H)swore to our forefathers
From the days of old.
