5 Because being under his anger is only for a moment,+

But being in his favor* is for a lifetime.+

 9 He will not always find fault,+

Nor will he stay resentful forever.+

18 Who is a God like you,

Pardoning error and passing over the transgression+ of the remnant of his inheritance?+

He will not hold onto his anger forever,

For he delights in loyal love.+
