17 They will lick dust like the snakes of the earth crawling across the dirt.
    They will creep out of their holes, shivering in terror because of You.
They turn to the Eternal, our True God, filled with dread,
    and they stand in awe of You.

18 Is there any other God like You, who forgives evil
    and passes over the transgressions done by Yours who remain?

    because He delights in showing love and kindness.
19 He will take pity on us again, will tread our wrongdoing underfoot.
    He will cast all our sins down to the bottom of the sea.

    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)

    you will tread our sins underfoot
    and hurl all our iniquities(K) into the depths of the sea.(L)
