Remember not the sins of my youth

Daily Light Devotions - June 29 - Evening

Remember not the sins of my youth, ...

Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O LORD! 1 

I have blotted out your transgressions like a cloud and your sins like mist; return to me, for I have redeemed you. 2 

"I, I am he who blots out your transgressions for my own sake, and I will not remember your sins. 3

"Come now, let us reason together, says the LORD: though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall become like wool. 4 

And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more." 5 

He will again have compassion on us; he will tread our iniquities underfoot. You will cast all our sins into the depths of the sea. 6 

Behold, it was for my welfare that I had great bitterness; but in love you have delivered my life from the pit of destruction, for you have cast all my sins behind your back. 7 

Who is a God like you, pardoning iniquity and passing over transgression for the remnant of his inheritance? He does not retain his anger forever, because he delights in steadfast love. 8 

and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. To him who loves us and has freed us from our sins by his blood 9
