Not according to our sins hath He done to us, Nor according to our iniquities Hath He conferred benefits upon us.

16 F or the wind passes over it, and it is gone, and its place shall know it no more.

For a wind hath passed over it, and it is not, And its place doth not discern it any more.

17 B ut the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon those that fear him, and his righteousness unto the children’s children,

And the kindness of Jehovah from age even unto age on those fearing Him, And His righteousness to sons' sons,

18 t o such as keep his covenant and to those that remember his commandments to do them.

To those keeping His covenant, And to those remembering His precepts to do them.
