English

Still, because of your great compassion,

you didn’t make a total end to them.

You didn’t walk out and leave them for good;

yes, you are a God of grace and compassion.

Nevertheless, in your great mercies you did not make an end of them or forsake them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

But in your great mercy you did not put an end to them or abandon them, for you are a gracious and merciful God.

However, in your abundant compassion,

you did not destroy them or abandon them,

for you are a gracious and compassionate God.

But in your great mercy, you did not destroy them completely or abandon them forever. What a gracious and merciful God you are!

But in your great compassions you did not put an end to them, and you did not abandon them. For you are a gracious and compassionate God.

Nevertheless for thy great mercies’ sake thou didst not utterly consume them, nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.
