For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee.
God is good and ready to forgive, rich in mercy to everyone who calls on Him.
KJV2Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee. 3Be merciful unto me, O Lord: for I cry unto thee daily. 4Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 6Give ear, O Lord, unto my prayer; and attend to the voice of my supplications. 7In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou wilt answer me. 8Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works.
Israel’s prayer book: songs of trust, lament, thanks and praise, many of them by David.
Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
God invites His people to come and talk: sins as deep as scarlet can be made white as snow.
As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
When God forgives, He puts the sin as far away as the east is from the west.
Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.
There is no God like Him: He pardons, does not keep His anger for ever, and delights in mercy.
If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Confess, and God is faithful to forgive you and make you clean.
