17 Like snakes crawling from their holes,
    they will come out to meet the Lord our God.
They will fear him greatly,
    trembling in terror at his presence.

18 Where is another God like you,
    who pardons the guilt of the remnant,
    overlooking the sins of his special people?
You will not stay angry with your people forever,
    because you delight in showing unfailing love.
19 Once again you will have compassion on us.
    You will trample our sins under your feet
    and throw them into the depths of the ocean!

18 Who is a God(D) like you,
    who pardons sin(E) and forgives(F) the transgression
    of the remnant(G) of his inheritance?(H)
You do not stay angry(I) forever
    but delight to show mercy.(J)
19 You will again have compassion on us;
    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities(K) into the depths of the sea.(L)
