He has not given us the punishment for our sins, or the reward of our wrongdoing.
And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here;
Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.
And would make clear to you the secrets of wisdom, and the wonders of his purpose!
He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.
O Jah, if you took note of every sin, who would go free?
It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.
O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.
