⁶ Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power?
    No, but he would give heed to me.

³⁸ Yet he, being compassionate,
    forgave their iniquity
    and did not destroy them;
often he restrained his anger
    and did not stir up all his wrath.^(A)

²⁴ Correct me, O Lord, but in just measure;
    not in your anger, or you will bring me to nothing.^(A)
