Psalms 51:9

Psalms 51:9. Hide thy face from my sins,

"Lord, do not look at them. Refuse to see them. Hide thy face, not from me, but from my sins."

Psalms 51:9. And blot out all mine iniquities.

See how he comes back to that note again and again; he is never long away from it. There are certain tunes in which one note is constantly repeated, so is it here. David prays, "O God, put away my sin, blot out my sin, forgive my sin." He cries for nothing else but that: "Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities." He longs for the time when not one of them shall be in existence.
