Who is a God like you,

who pardons sin and forgives the transgression

of the remnant of his inheritance?

You do not stay angry forever

but delight to show mercy.

You will again have compassion on us;

you will tread our sins underfoot

and hurl all our iniquities into the depths of the sea.

You will be faithful to Jacob,

and show love to Abraham,

as you pledged on oath to our ancestors

in days long ago.

NLTNew Living Translation

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.

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!

You will show us your faithfulness and unfailing love

as you promised to our ancestors Abraham and Jacob long ago.

and passing over rebellion for the remnant of his inheritance?

for he delights in loyal love.

He will again have compassion on us;

he will trample our iniquities.

And you will hurl all their sins

in the depths of the sea.

You will show faithfulness to Jacob,

and loyal love to Abraham,

as you have sworn to our ancestors

from the days of old.

KJV 1900King James Version

Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity,

And passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage?

He retaineth not his anger for ever,

Because he delighteth in mercy.

He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us;

He will subdue our iniquities;

And thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Thou wilt perform the truth to Jacob, and the mercy to Abraham,

Which thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.
