¹⁸ Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity,
    and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage?
He doesn’t retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in loving kindness.
¹⁹ He will again have compassion on us.
    He will tread our iniquities under foot;
    and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
²⁰ You will give truth to Jacob,
    and mercy to Abraham,
    as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
