So often in Psalms we read words credited to David that show a humble heart.  “Praise is due to you, O God, in Zion, and to you shall vows be performed.” (Psalms 65:1)  David made his share of mistakes, but he knew where to find the only hope of forgiveness.  “When iniquities prevail against me, you atone for our transgressions.” (Psalms 65:3)  The atonement is available to us, but it requires our turning away from that sin.  “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;” (Acts 3:19)  That cleansing power continues for Christians if we live our life by His pattern.  “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (1 John 1:7)
