17 They will (A)lick up dust like a snake,
Like [a](B)reptiles of the earth.
They will come (C)trembling out of their [b]fortresses;
To the Lord our God they will come in (D)trepidation,
And they will be afraid of You.
18 Who is a God like You, who (E)pardons wrongdoing
And passes over a rebellious act of the (F)remnant of His [c]possession?
He does not (G)retain His anger forever,
Because He (H)delights in mercy.
19 He will again take pity on us;
(I)He will trample on our wrongdoings.
Yes, You will (J)cast all [d]their sins
Into the depths of the sea.
