17  ^mBehold, it was for my welfare

that I had great bitterness;

ⁿbut in love you have delivered my life

from the pit of destruction,

ⁿfor you have cast all my sins

behind your back.

25  “I, I am he

^uwho blots out ^vyour transgressions for my own sake,

and I will not remember your sins.

19  He will ^pagain have compassion on us;

^qhe will tread our iniquities underfoot.

^rYou will cast all our¹ sins

into the depths of the sea.
