his proven record
Psalm 85:1-3 (JDV)
Psalm 85:11 Yahveh, you showed favor to your land; you restored captive Jacob.
Psalm 85:2 You forgave your people’s guilt; you covered all their failure. Selah
Psalm 85:3 You withdrew all your fury; you turned from your burning anger.
his proven record
This psalm begins by remembering the fact that God had forgiven and restored his people in the past, and goes on to declare by faith that he will do it again.
When we choose to trust God for forgiveness, we are doing so on the basis of who he is, and his proven record. Our sin does not have to be the last word. His love is greater than our sin.
LORD, forgive us … again.
