Psalms 25:9
7 Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my rebellious acts; remember me according to Your loving devotion, because of Your goodness, O LORD.
8 Good and upright is the LORD; therefore He shows sinners the way.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them His way.
10 All the LORD’s ways are loving and faithful to those who keep His covenant and His decrees.
11 For the sake of Your name, O LORD, forgive my iniquity, for it is great.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
