⁷ Purify me with hyssop, and I will be clean.
    Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.

⁸ Yahweh is merciful and gracious,
    slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness.
⁹ He will not always accuse;
    neither will he stay angry forever.
¹⁰ He has not dealt with us according to our sins,
    nor repaid us for our iniquities.
¹¹ For as the heavens are high above the earth,
    so great is his loving kindness toward those who fear him.
¹² As far as the east is from the west,
    so far has he removed our transgressions from us.
