Restrain Anger...

A person’s wisdom yields patience;
    it is to one’s glory to overlook an offense. (NIV)

Good sense makes a man restrain his anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression or an offense. (Amplified)

The discretion of a man deferreth his anger; and it is his glory to pass over a transgression. (KJV)

~ Proverbs 19:11

Blessed Is the One...

Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered. (NIV)

Mercy...

Who is a God like you,
    who pardons sin and forgives the transgression
    of the remnant of his inheritance?
You do not stay angry forever
    but delight to show mercy.

~ Micah 7:18 (NIV)

As Far as the East Is from the West...

As far as the east is from the west, So far has He removed our transgressions from us.

Psalm 19

For the director of music. A psalm of David.

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun,
5 which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
6 It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul.
The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,
making wise the simple.
8 The precepts of the Lord are right,
giving joy to the heart.
The commands of the Lord are radiant,
giving light to the eyes.
9 The fear of the Lord is pure,
enduring forever.
The ordinances of the Lord are sure
and altogether righteous.
10 They are more precious than gold,
than much pure gold;
they are sweeter than honey,
than honey from the comb.
11 By them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
12 Who can discern his errors?
Forgive my hidden faults.
13 Keep your servant also from willful sins;
may they not rule over me.
Then will I be blameless,
innocent of great transgression.
14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing in your sight,
O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.


~ Psalm 19:1-14 (NIV 1984)

6 The Lord passed before him and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness, 7 keeping steadfast love for thousands,forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children and the children's children, to the third and the fourth generation.” ~ Exodus 34:6-7 (ESV)

Forgiven!

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. ~ Psalm 32:1 (ESV)
