17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent;They shall crawl from their holes like snakes of the earth.They shall be afraid of the Lord our God,And shall fear because of You.
18 Who is a God like You,Pardoning iniquityAnd passing over the transgression of the remnant of His heritage?He does not retain His anger forever,Because He delights in mercy.
19 He will again have compassion on us,And will subdue our iniquities.You will cast all our sinsInto the depths of the sea.
20 You will give truth to JacobAnd mercy to Abraham,Which You have sworn to our fathersFrom days of old.
