Remembering to be merciful,

Аs He promised to our fathers,to Abraham and his descendants1.

I will have mercy on you,

According to My unfailing love;

According to My great compassion

I will blot out your transgressions.

I will [manifoldly] wash away all your iniquity

And cleanse you (Forever Hallelujah!) from your sin.

He has helped his servant Israel,

remembering to be merciful [x4]

For I know your transgressions, and your sin

Is always before you.

I am the only one who reigns2

And you have done what is evil in My sight

So I am right in My (Forever Hallelujah!) verdict.

(He has helped his servant Israel)

And justified when you judge.

(Remembering to be merciful [x2])

And justified when I judge.

(For to Me belong all glory, honor, and worship,

now and forever and to the ages of ages)3.

(For to Me belong all glory, honor, and worship,

now and forever and to the ages of ages)

Let your soul praise,

Me, your Lord (Yet you desired faithfulness),

Praise (in that secret place)

Me, the Lord (I taught you).

Surely you was sinful at birth,

Sinful from the time your mother conceived you.
