Psalms 25:7. Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions: according to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O LORD.
In this verse and the preceding one, there are three "remembers"- erst, that God would remember his tender mercies and his lovingkindnesses; next, that he would not remember our sins and our transgressions; and, then, that he would remember us according to his mercy and goodness.
This last request may remind us of the prayer of the dying thief, "Lord, remember me;" and it may serve for us as a repenting prayer: "According to thy mercy remember thou me for thy goodness’ sake, O Lord."
