The Key Word — חַטָּאֵינוּ, Kha.cha.ta.'ei.nugenerated
The word חֵטְא (chet) signifies sin, encompassing both the act of wrongdoing and the associated guilt. It originates from a root meaning 'to miss' or 'to err', indicating a deviation from the right path.
In this verse, חַטָּאֵינוּ is a construct form meaning 'our sins', linking it directly to the subject of God's dealings with us. The implications of sin in this context highlight our moral failures and the justice we deserve, which God chooses not to impose.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the verse reads 'He has not dealt with us according to our sins or repaid us according to our iniquities.' This is consistent across other translations such as the KJV, ASV, YLT, WEB, and BBE.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb in the verse is עָשָׂה, he has done, which governs the structure. The sentence includes two adverbial phrases that clarify how God has acted: one regarding our sins and the other regarding our iniquities.
