18 Who is a God like You, Who forgives iniquity and passes over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retains not His anger forever, because He delights in mercy and loving-kindness.

19 He will again have compassion on us; He will subdue and tread underfoot our iniquities. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea.(A)

20 You will show Your faithfulness and perform the sure promise to Jacob and loving-kindness and mercy to Abraham, as You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.(B)

18 Who is a God like you, forgiving sin
    and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance?
He does not retain his anger forever,
    for he delights in loyal love.
19 He will again have compassion[a] on us;
    he will trample our iniquities.
And you will hurl all their sins
    in the depths of the sea.
20 You will show faithfulness to Jacob,
    and loyal love to Abraham,
as you have sworn to our ancestors[b]
    from the days of old.
