2 Thou have forgiven the iniquity of thy people. Thou have covered all their sin. (Selah)

5 Will thou be angry with us forever? Will thou draw out thine anger to all generations?

6 Will thou not revive us again, that thy people may rejoice in thee?

8 I will hear what God, Jehovah, will speak, for he will speak peace to his people, and to his sanctified. But let them not turn again to folly.
