- I have blotted out, like a thick cloud, your transgressions,
And like a cloud, your sins.

And righteousness like a mighty stream. - As far as the east is from the west,
So far has He removed our transgressions from us. - I have rejoiced in the way of Your testimonies,
As much as in all riches. - And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit fell upon them, as upon us at the beginning.

- “Come now, and let us reason together,”
Says the Lord,
“Though your sins are like scarlet,
They shall be as white as snow;
Though they are red like crimson,
They shall be as wool.” - Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.
- The Lord God is my strength;
He will make my feet like deer’s feet,
And He will make me walk on my high hills. - But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear.

And afterward to reconsider his vows. - In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
