12  I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;

I will ^xgather the ^yremnant of Israel;

I will set them together

like sheep in a fold,

like a flock in its pasture,

a noisy multitude of men.

7  and the lame I will make the ^yremnant,

and those who were cast off, a strong nation;

and the Lord will ^zreign over them in Mount Zion

from this time forth and forevermore.

18  ^xWho is a God like you, ^ypardoning iniquity

and passing over transgression

for the ^zremnant of his inheritance?

^aHe does not retain his anger forever,

because he delights in steadfast love.
