¹⁰ He ·has not punished us as our sins should be punished [^Ldoes not act toward us according to our sins];
    he has not repaid us ·for the evil we have done [^Laccording to our iniquity].
¹¹ As high as the ·sky [heaven] is above the earth,
    so great is his ·love [loyalty] for those who ·respect [fear] him [Prov. 1:7].
¹² He has taken our ·sins [transgressions] away from us
    as far as the east is from west.
