(Some words not found in UHB: in,a_flood_of anger hid face_of,my moment from,you and,in,covenant_loyalty_of everlasting I,will_have_compassion_on_you he/it_had_said redeemer_of,your YHWH )

(Occurrence 0) but with everlasting covenant faithfulness

(Some words not found in UHB: in,a_flood_of anger hid face_of,my moment from,you and,in,covenant_loyalty_of everlasting I,will_have_compassion_on_you he/it_had_said redeemer_of,your YHWH )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea behind the word faithfulness, you can express the same idea with a verbal form such as “faithful.” See how you translated “covenant faithfulness” in [Isaiah 16:5](../16/05.md). Alternate translation: “but because I always am faithful to my covenant with you” or “but because I am always faithful to do what I promise to do”

Here Yahweh speaks about himself in the third person. It can be stated in first person. Alternate translation: “that is what I, Yahweh, your rescuer, say to you”
