Allan Bartlam | Micah 6:1-8 | Micah 7:18-20
With what shall I come before the Lord
and bow down before the exalted God?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,

And what does the Lord require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy

Who is a God like you,
who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry for ever
but delight to show mercy.
