Psalm 25:6-11 “LORD, remember your tender mercies and your loving kindness, for they are from old times. Don’t remember the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. Remember me according to your loving kindness, for your goodness’ sake, LORD. Good and upright is the LORD, therefore he will instruct sinners in the way. He will guide the humble in justice. He will teach the humble his way. All the paths of the LORD are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. For your name’s sake, LORD, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.”

David identifies some important characteristics of God: He is merciful, loving, good and upright. His love and mercy make it possible for us to seek forgiveness, and His goodness and righteousness guide us in the way we should live. If we submit to Him we can be assured of direction and pardon, even though our sins are great.
