Psalm 32:5I acknowledged my sin to you,     and I did not cover my iniquity;I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,”     and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Psalm 103:11–12For as high as the heavens are above the earth,     so great is his steadfast love toward those who fear him;as far as the east is from the west,     so far does he remove our transgressions from us. Psalm 130:3–4If you, O LORD, should mark iniquities,     O Lord, who could stand?
