40  Let us test and examine our ways,

^hand return to the Lord!

41  ⁱLet us lift up our hearts and hands

to God in heaven:

42  ^j“We have transgressed and ^krebelled,

and you have not forgiven.

31  ^wFor the Lord will not

cast off forever,

32  for, though he ^xcause grief, ^yhe will have compassion

^zaccording to the abundance of his steadfast love;
