He will take great delight^(B) in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,^(C)
    but will rejoice over you with singing.”^(D)

¹⁸ Who is a God^(A) like you,
    who pardons sin^(B) and forgives^(C) the transgression

You do not stay angry^(F) forever
    but delight to show mercy.^(G)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities^(H) into the depths of the sea.^(I)
