Praise for the Lord

18 There is no God like you.
    You take away people’s guilt.
    God will forgive his people who survive.
He will not stay angry with them forever,
    because he enjoys being kind.
19 He will come back and comfort us again.
    He will throw all our sins into the deep sea.
20 God, please be true to Jacob.
    Be kind and loyal to Abraham,[a] as you promised our ancestors long ago.
