^9 (A)He will not always chide,
    nor will he ^(B)keep his anger forever.

^16 (A)For I will not contend forever,
    nor will I always be angry;
for the spirit would grow faint before me,
    and the breath of life that I made.

^5 (A)For his anger is but for a moment,
    and ^(B)his favor is for a lifetime.^[a]
(C)Weeping may tarry for the night,
    but ^(D)joy comes with the morning.

^18 (A)Who is a God like you, ^(B)pardoning iniquity
    and passing over transgression
    ^(C)for the remnant of his inheritance?
^(D)He does not retain his anger forever,
    because he delights in steadfast love.
¹⁹ He will ^(E)again have compassion on us;
    ^(F)he will tread our iniquities underfoot.
^(G)You will cast all our^[a] sins
    into the depths of the sea.

^5 (A)will he be angry forever,
    will he be indignant to the end?’
Behold, you have spoken,
    but you have done all the evil that you could.”
